Government rolls out new military registration: Men under 25 to be registered without military medical commission

Today, on 16 August, the Cabinet of Ministers adopted a resolution "On the Implementation of a Pilot Project on Automatic Verification and Checking of Information on Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service and Reservists," the Ministry of Reintegration reports

The resolution addresses several important aspects:

1. Military registration for conscripts

Boys between the ages of 17 and 25 must be registered for military service without undergoing a military medical commission (MMC). This applies to both those who live in Ukraine and those who live abroad.

2. Checking documents abroad

This applies to men aged 18 to 60 who are abroad and apply for Ukrainian or foreign passports. They will have the validity of their military registration documents checked through the state electronic system Trembita.

3. Entering the register

Boys aged 16 to 25 who reside in Ukraine and apply for a passport will be entered into the Unified State Register of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service and Reservists (USRPVR) without undergoing a military medical commission.

This also applies to those who are abroad and apply for a passport at Ukrainian missions abroad.

4. List of citizens

A list of male citizens of Ukraine aged 16 to 60 years will be formed, whose data must be entered into the USRPVR and who are subject to military registration.

The draft resolution was developed by the Ministry of Reintegration jointly with the Ministry of Defence, the SMS, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The need for its introduction has been repeatedly discussed at interagency meetings.

It is expected that such innovations will help to optimise and identify information in the Unified State Register of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service and Reservists.
