Since April 2024, Ukraine has a new responsibility mechanism for conscripts who do not meet the requirements of territorial centers. According to Law No. 3633-IX, the court may temporarily restrict the right to drive a vehicle if a citizen evades military accounting or does not appear on a summons.
This innovation is enshrined in the Code of Administrative Procedure and is already actively applied: according to the register of court decisions, recently the number of cases under the claims of the Tax Code to drivers has increased.
How is the restriction?
After the court's decision on a temporary prohibition, the state executor sends a resolution to the Unified Ministry of Internal Affairs (EIS). The data there are transmitted through the automated enforcement system (ASVP) using a qualified electronic signature.
Restriction is possible only after:
-
fulfillment of the requirements of the Tax Code;
-
cancellation of a court decision;
-
withdrawal of the shopping center of its demand.
What is the punishment for the violation?
Managing a car with the current judicial restriction is an administrative offense. According to Part 3 of Art. 126 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, this entails deprivation of the right to control for a term of 3-6 months.
In case of recurrent violation is provided:
-
fine 40 800 UAH;
-
deprivation of rights for 5-7 years;
-
It is possible to remove the vehicle.
In order to speed up the punishment, the Verkhovna Rada Committee recommended that the driver's license be removed immediately after the court decision. This will allow you to do without a separate administrative protocol.
The decision of the Novograd-Volyn City Court of April 15, 2025 (Case No. 285/660/25) is indicative. The court satisfied the claim of the Tax Code against a man who did not update his credentials, did not appear on the call and did not live at the registered address.
Despite the absence of confirmation of receipt of the summons, its return by mail marked by the "addressee is missing", the court considers it a proper notification. This corresponds to the procedure of conscription and CASU standards.
Therefore, for failure to comply with the requirements of the CCC during mobilization, drivers can deprive the right - even in the absence of personal appearance in court.
