During the inspection of military registration documents, law enforcement officers primarily rely on the data from the 'Oberih' registry. If incorrect information is entered into the electronic database, this may be grounds for sending a person to the TCC.
This was reported by military lawyer Diana Ternova in a comment to the publication RBC-Ukraine.
How to correct an error in the data?
According to the lawyer, if the electronic system displays a different status than the one indicated in the military registration document, the citizen automatically becomes a potential violator.
To avoid misunderstandings during inspections, Ukrainians are advised to check their status in advance and not wait for an accidental encounter with law enforcement officers.
It is also worth noting that citizens have legal mechanisms to correct inaccuracies in personal data. Diana Ternova explained that several options are currently available:
-
Remote correction. Through the Reserve+ app, you can quickly update basic data – for example, correct errors in full name, address, or contact phone number.
-
Personal application. The most reliable way in case of a change in status (for example, removal from registration) is to contact the TCC with original documents and a written application.
Important! Ignoring discrepancies in the 'Oberih' registry can lead not only to problems during inspections but also to serious legal consequences that are difficult to correct later, even in court.
The lawyer also gave examples from her practice where citizens with paper documents confirming their removal from registration did not take care to update their electronic data. As a result, they were later detained on general grounds.
Subsequently, he addressed this issue already after her re-registration for military service and conscription during mobilization, which significantly complicated the process,
– added Ternova.
Recall that recently, in the Reserve+ app, many users' electronic military registration documents received the mark 'VOS-999'. It is assigned to military personnel who have not undergone military service or training camps, and therefore have no other military specialty in the register.
According to TCC representatives, this information is only for record-keeping purposes and is used to understand the number of people who may require basic military training in case of mobilization.
