If you discover inconsistencies between the information on your paper and electronic military ID, it is important to correct these errors as soon as possible. This was reported by lawyer Dmytro Franchuk.
He notes that such discrepancies can become a problem in various situations, for example, when traveling abroad, receiving social benefits or using other government services.
To solve the problem, the lawyer recommends the following steps:
- Contact the territorial recruitment and social support center (TCC and SP) at your place of registration.
- Submit a paper military ID, an electronic military ID (excerpt from the Register of Military Conscripts) and documents confirming the correctness of your data, such as a birth certificate, passport or marriage certificate.
TCC and SP specialists will check your information, correct errors and update data in both paper and electronic systems.
Franchuk emphasizes that both documents – paper and electronic military ID – have the same legal force. However, the electronic military card (excerpt from the Register of conscripts) may be more relevant, as the data in it is updated more often. The update process may take some time, but there should be no serious problems with the relevance of information.
The lawyer also recommends that after correcting the data, obtain a new extract from the Register of Conscripts and check whether all the data are correct. Keep documents that confirm the correctness of your data, and in case of problems, contact higher military authorities or the ombudsman for the protection of human rights.
