On June 27, 2026, amendments to the Procedure for Organizing and Maintaining Military Registration of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service, and Reservists—approved by Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1487—entered into force. These new measures aim to further digitization of military registration processes, simplification of interaction between employers and Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers (TRCs and SSCs), and automatization of  information exchange between state registers.

Among the key innovations are:

• the introduction of mechanisms for the electronic reconciliation of military registration data;

• the expansion of electronic interaction between employers, Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers (TRCs and SSCs), and state registers;

• updates to the procedure for maintaining personal military records;

• the option to submit certain notifications and conduct reconciliations electronically;

• clarification of the procedure for verifying military registration documents during the hiring process.

In effect, the state is continuing its course toward gradually phasing out paper-based procedures and transitioning to a digital model of military registration.

At the same time, employers should note that certain provisions regarding electronic interaction with the Unified State Register of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service, and Reservists require additional technical implementation. Currently, the electronic data reconciliation functionality is not yet fully operational; therefore, in practice, enterprises continue to use existing mechanisms for maintaining military records and interacting with Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers until the relevant services are fully launched.

Changes have also affected the hiring process. Specifically, the legislation mandates verifying the validity of military registration documents and allows for the use of electronic military registration documents generated via the "Rezerv+" app or other government services.

New requirements include the use of a valid electronic military registration document generated no earlier than 72 hours prior to employment. Consequently, employers should review the list of documents submitted by candidates during the hiring process and, if necessary, update their internal HR procedures.

In light of the new rules coming into effect, employers are advised to:

• review hiring procedures;

• update internal policies and instructions regarding military registration;

• verify the accuracy of personal military registration records;

• conduct an audit of existing military registration documents;

• prepare for the upcoming implementation of full-scale electronic interaction with state registers.
