BUY

At a regular meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the government adopted a resolution “On Implementation of a Pilot Project on Automatic Verification and Verification of Information on Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service and Reservists.”

This decision is an important step towards optimizing the processes of military registration and identification of citizens subject to conscription.

Applies to all men aged 17 to 25: the government has introduced automatic data verification

Key innovations

• Military registration of conscripts

From now on, young men between the ages of 17 and 25 must be registered for military service without the need to undergo a military medical examination. This requirement applies to both those residing in Ukraine and citizens abroad.

• Document verification abroad

Men aged 18 to 60 who are abroad and apply for Ukrainian or foreign passports will now have their military registration documents verified through the Trembita state electronic system.

• Entering the register

Young men aged 16 to 25 who reside in Ukraine and apply for a passport are automatically entered into the Unified State Register of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service and Reservists (PLMSR) without the need to undergo a military qualification examination. This also applies to citizens who are abroad and apply for documents at Ukrainian representative offices.

• Formation of a list of citizens

The Law provides for the creation of a list of male citizens of Ukraine aged 16 to 60 who must be entered into the (PLMSR) and subject to military registration.

The adopted resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers not only regulates the procedure for automatic verification of conscripts, persons liable for military service and reservists, but also establishes new rules for passing the military medical commission (MMC) for certain categories of citizens.
