The issues of removal and exclusion from military registration often cause confusion in society. Both procedures relate to changes in the status of conscripts, but they have significant differences in terms of grounds and consequences.

What is Removal from Military Registration?

Removal from military registration is a temporary measure and does not exempt a person from undergoing a military medical commission (MMC), updating personal data, notifying the Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC), or fulfilling other legal obligations.

What is Exclusion from Military Registration?

A person excluded from military registration loses military liability and cannot be drafted during mobilization. They are no longer required to undergo an MMC or update their military records.

Exclusion applies to:

• Deceased or missing persons.
• Those who have lost Ukrainian citizenship.
• Those deemed unfit for military service.
• Those who have reached the age limit for military service.

Key Difference

• Removal is temporary – after the cause is eliminated, the person must re-register.
• Exclusion is permanent – the person is no longer military liable.
