At the initiative of the Ministry of Defence, the Ukrainian government has simplified the procedures for military registration and de-registration.

Youths turning 17 can now register remotely via the “Rezerv+” mobile app, citizens aged 25-60 will be registered automatically, and de-registration upon reaching the age limit will also occur without the need to visit a TCC (Territorial Recruitment Center).

These changes have been made to the Procedure for Organizing and Maintaining Military Registration (Resolution No. 1487).

Key Changes in Detail:

1. Registration for Conscripts (17-year-olds):
   From January 1 to July 31 each year, male citizens who turn 17 must register for military service. This can now be done:

• Remotely:Through the Rezerv+ mobile application.
• In-person:By visiting a local TCC.
  This initial registration does not require a mandatory military medical commission (MMC).

2. Automatic Registration (Ages 25-60):
   All male citizens aged 25 to 60 who were not previously on military registration without legal grounds will now be registered automatically. This will reduce manual processing and the need for TCC visits.
3. Automatic De-registration (Age 60+):
   The process of removing citizens from military registration after they reach the maximum age of service in the reserve will also be automated. Additionally, heads of state bodies and enterprises are required to update their internal personnel records within 7 days of an employee reaching the age limit.
