In Reserv+ a man was simultaneously listed as unfit for service and liable for military service — the court ordered the TRC to correct the data

The Dnipropetrovsk District Administrative Court concluded that the TRC unlawfully failed to enter into the Unified State Register of conscripts, those liable for military service, and reservists the information about the citizen's unfitness for military service and his removal from military registration.

Despite the valid conclusion of the Military Medical Commission (MMC) and corresponding entries in the military ID, the electronic military registration document through the "Reserv+" application displayed conflicting data: the person was simultaneously listed as unfit for military service and as being on military registration.

The court emphasized that the MMC decision on unfitness for military service with removal from military registration is sufficient grounds for entering the relevant information into the register.

Case circumstances

The plaintiff applied to the court after discovering a discrepancy between the data in his military ID and the information displayed in the electronic military registration document via the "Reserv+" application.

In August 2022, the military medical commission recognized him as unfit for military service with removal from military registration. Corresponding entries were made in the military ID.

However, in September 2025, when forming the electronic military registration document, the plaintiff noticed contradictory information. The document contained information about unfitness for military service with removal from military registration, but at the same time indicated that he was registered at the TRC and had the registration category "liable for military service."

The plaintiff's representative submitted a request to the TRC to align the register data with the military ID information. In response, the TRC stated that the register contained up-to-date information about the person's removal from military registration. However, after updating the electronic document in "Reserv+", no changes occurred and the contradictory information remained.

Later, the plaintiff's representative sent a lawyer's request for an extract from the register and also contacted the Ministry of Defense and the "Reserv+" support service. The responses indicated that the update of data in the register is ensured by the TRC and the support service.

Defendant's position

The TRC requested to dismiss the claim. The defendant referred to the absence of a proper MMC conclusion regarding the plaintiff's unfitness for military service, noted the failure to provide original documents, and argued that making the relevant changes to the register is possible only with the personal participation of the citizen.

Court's assessment

The court established that the MMC decision from August 2022 on the plaintiff's unfitness for military service with removal from military registration is valid, was not canceled, and was not recognized as unlawful. The corresponding entries are in the military ID, and the defendant did not provide evidence of their illegality or unreliability.

The court noted that the condition for removing a person from military registration is precisely the recognition by the MMC of unfitness for military service. At the same time, the provisions on military-medical examination stipulate that MMC decisions on unfitness for military service with removal from military registration are subject to immediate implementation.

According to the court, the law does not require the person to take any additional actions to implement such an MMC decision. The court also concluded that under the circumstances of this case, the defendant had no grounds to require the plaintiff to undergo the military medical commission again or to personally participate in entering the relevant information into the register, since the validity of the MMC decision was not disputed.

Separately, the court emphasized that the TRC are responsible for maintaining military registration, storing registration documents, and timely entering information into the Unified State Register of conscripts, those liable for military service, and reservists. Negative consequences of improper fulfillment of these duties cannot be imposed on the citizen or create additional obligations for him to reconfirm an already established status.

Court conclusions

The court concluded that the defendant had all legal grounds to enter into the register the information about the plaintiff's unfitness for military service and his removal from military registration based on the valid MMC decision.

The failure to enter such information was considered by the court as unlawful inaction of the authority, which contradicts the requirements of the legislation on maintaining the register and violates the principles of proper governance and legal certainty.

Court decision

The Dnipropetrovsk District Administrative Court satisfied the claim.

The court recognized the TRC inaction regarding the failure to enter into the Unified State Register of conscripts, those liable for military service, and reservists the information about the plaintiff's recognition as unfit for military service with removal from military registration as unlawful and obliged the TRC to enter the relevant data into the register according to the information contained in the plaintiff's military ID. Also, in case No. 160/34271/25, court costs of UAH 1211.20 were recovered in favor of the plaintiff.
