Men in Ukraine between the ages of 18 and 60 are required to comply with the rules of military registration. This is especially relevant during mobilization. Lawyer Lidia Karpluk from the company Attorneys at Law "Leshchenko, Doroshenko & Partners" explained exactly what data must be reported and under what conditions a fine can be imposed.
What needs to be updated?
Conscripts, conscripts and reservists must notify the military accounting authorities of:
- Marital status (marriage, divorce, etc.);
- Address of residence or stay;
- Phone numbers and email;
- A new position or education.
You can transfer information through TsNAPy or electronic systems .
When can there be a fine?
Violation of these rules is subject to administrative liability in accordance with Article 210 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses. However, the imposition of a fine depends on the availability of state registers that can pull up information automatically.
"If the data is already in the state register, the fine is not applied," Lydia Karpluk explains.
For example, if the employer informed the tax service about your new position, it is not necessary to re-provide this data to the military authorities.
What about registries?
In Ukraine, there is currently no centralized database for:
- Phone numbers or email addresses;
- Temporary changes in the state of health (if it is not a disability).
Because of this, the lack of updated information can be considered a violation.
What should be done?
To avoid fines:
- Update data through official channels within seven days;
- Check whether the information is already available in the relevant registers;
- Communicate changes in advance if possible.
Does the fine give a delay from mobilization?
Lawyers explain that receiving a fine does not exempt one from military duty.
The Ukrainian army continues to mobilize, and compliance with the rules of military registration remains one of the key aspects for citizens. To avoid problems, it's important to be responsible about updating your data.
