Where do I go for help or to apply for a longer visa?
You can contact the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Warsaw for consular assistance or for visa applications if you plan to stay longer than 30 days. The embassy is listed as the place to obtain visas for longer stays, not as a requirement for short tourist visits.

A temporary passport is accepted for entry in the same way as an ordinary passport; use whichever valid travel document you hold when you travel.

Damaged or seriously altered passports may cause refusal at check‑in or at the border; travel with a well‑maintained passport that meets the validity rule to avoid problems.
