Ukraine's New Passport Rule: Automatic Military Registration for Men

Ukraine Implements New Passport Regulations for Men: Automatic Military Registration Check Introduced KYIV, Ukraine – Recent changes to Ukraine's international passport application process have introduced a new automatic military registration check for men. The update, effective immediately, ensures that all male applicants are verified against the military registry. Those not currently registered will be automatically enrolled during the passport application process. "When you apply for a foreign passport, they automatically check if you're registered with the military," explains a legal expert in a recent video discussing the changes. "If you're not registered, they automatically add you to the registry." This new system aims to streamline military registration and ensure that all eligible men are accounted for. While the changes are designed to improve efficiency, they have also raised concerns about potential privacy implications and the need for greater transparency. The government has yet to release an official statement addressing these concerns. However, the new system is already in effect, and those planning to apply for international passports should be aware of this change.
