Digitalization of records will apply to conscripts and foreign volunteers
The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has updated military registration rules under Order No. 357. The new requirements simplify paperwork and introduce electronic journals to track mobilized personnel and foreign recruits. This was reported by Socportal citing the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
The updated instructions aim to streamline the registration process for individuals currently undergoing selection and official processing for military service. These measures cover both Ukrainian citizens subject to mobilization and foreign specialists or stateless persons who wish to sign a service contract.
Digitalization of records at TCK
For foreign volunteers, the initial processing procedure has become more structured. Those wishing to join the Defence Forces can apply to regular Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centres (TCK) or specialized recruitment centres. After passing basic checks, candidates will be centrally directed to the specialized Recruitment Centre for Foreigners.
The introduction of electronic logs is part of a strategy to transition military registration to a digital format. The system will record data on all future service members, allowing for minimized paperwork and faster information processing.
New provision mechanism
The updated regulatory framework provides detailed guidance on filling out digital documentation and step-by-step algorithms for registering candidates. The document also clearly defines the mechanism for enrolling new recruits in state-funded food provisions.
Going forward, an official order issued by the unit’s personnel office will serve as the legal basis for receiving state-funded meals. These changes allow for the automation of internal processes and ensure transparency in tracking personnel from their first days of service.
