On August 20, 2025, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine announced a new feature allowing individuals to pay fines for an additional type of military registration violation: failing to register at a new address after moving. Previously, this online service was only available for fines related to late data updates or failure to appear upon summons.

The fine payment service in Rezerv+ is a voluntary tool designed to help individuals comply with military registration rules and resolve issues quickly without queues and hassle.

An individual who sees a red banner in Rezerv+ stating “Violation of military registration rules” or “Wanted” can submit an application within the app to acknowledge the violation. The TRC (Territorial Recruitment Center) reviews the application within three days and issues a resolution. After this, the option to pay a fine of UAH 8,500—which is 50% of the full amount—becomes available. The payment must be made within 20 days.

If the fine is not paid within 20 days, the full amount of UAH 17,000 must be paid. If payment is not made within the next 20 days, the fine doubles to UAH 34,000. If the fine is ignored for 40 days from the date of the resolution, the case will be sent to the enforcement service. This can lead to the freezing of bank accounts, seizure of property or vehicles, and inclusion in the Unified Register of Debtors.

After the fine is paid, the red warning banner in the app will disappear. The entire process typically takes about 4 days. To see your updated status, you need to refresh your military document in Rezerv+ after payment. Paying the fine resolves the specific violation but does not cancel the obligation to comply with military registration requirements.

Practical Scenarios (FAQ):

• What if I acknowledge the violation but don’t pay the fine? If you ignore the payment for 40 days, the case will be transferred to the enforcement service.
• What if I see the red banner but don’t acknowledge the violation? The case will not be sent to the enforcement service automatically. However, during a document check, the National Police will identify the violation and may forcibly take you to a TCC to draw up a protocol.
• How do the police know if the fine has been paid? This information is shared with the National Police through data exchange between TCCs, state registers, and the police.
