The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has adopted a resolution to launch a new experimental project on the automatic military registration of conscripts, persons liable for military service, and reservists.

This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on December 13.

“This decision reduces bureaucracy and simplifies the procedure for citizens and territorial recruitment centers: some people will be registered for military service without personal visits, queues, or additional certificates”, — the statement said.

The following categories will be registered for military service automatically:

  • men who did not register at the age of 17 — they will automatically receive conscript status upon reaching the age of 18; 
  • men aged 18–60 who are abroad — when obtaining or exchanging passport documents at units of the State Migration Service. There is no need to visit territorial recruitment centers or undergo a military medical commission. 

“We have established data exchange between the Ministry of Defense, the Migration Service, the Demographic Register, and the Civil Status Acts Register. A person no longer needs to run from office to office and stand in queues to fulfill their duty. The system will do this automatically, because it already has all the necessary data”, — commented Deputy Minister of Defense for Digital Development Oksana Ferchuk.
