The Ukrainian government passed a decree requiring the State Tax Service to transmit personal data of men to the Ministry of Defense [1].
This measure streamlines the process of military registration by integrating civil tax records with defense databases, potentially reducing the need for individuals to visit recruitment offices in person.
Under the new mandate, the tax authority will automatically transfer the personal information of all men aged 18 to 60 [1]. This data will be integrated into the Ministry of Defense’s “Obereg” database [1].
The move represents a significant expansion of data sharing between state agencies. By utilizing the existing tax-payer register, the government can identify individuals who may not be properly registered with the military, or who have outdated contact information.
Legal experts discussing the measure on the Inter TV channel’s “United News” tele-marathon said that the process allows for registration without a physical visit to a territorial recruitment center [1]. This digital integration aims to modernize how the state tracks its eligible personnel during the ongoing conflict.
The decree ensures that the Ministry of Defense has access to the most current residency and employment data available through the State Tax Service [1]. This synchronization is intended to create a more accurate picture of the available manpower across the country.
“The Ukrainian government passed a decree requiring the State Tax Service to transmit personal data of men to the Ministry of Defense.”
The integration of tax records into the Obereg database signifies a shift toward automated mobilization management. By removing the requirement for physical visits to recruitment centers for certain registration steps, the Ukrainian government is leveraging digital governance to close gaps in its military registry and increase the efficiency of its conscription apparatus.
