The Parliament of Ukraine has adopted draft law No. 12066 on amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On Military Duty and Military Service”, which provides for the launch of the Unified State Register of Servicemen. This registry will become the basis for creating a modern digital ecosystem of services for the military and will help improve accounting processes.
The draft law was developed with the participation of experts from the Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO).
“The register will not only make the data about our defenders better (more up-to-date). It will also help to build an ecosystem centered on the military with their needs which can be quickly met without queues and paper certificates,” said Kateryna Chernohorenko, Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine for Digital Development.
Key innovations:
- Creation of a unified database for military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the State Special Transport Service.
- Providing electronic services to servicemen and their families, including social benefits, guarantees and bonus programmes.
- Implementation of a unique electronic identifier Military ID, which will allow data exchange between registers without using personal data of military personnel.
- Formation of a legislative framework for further development of the Army+ digital platform and the information and communication system of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
It is important that the registry will not contain information on military service, rank or specialty. Sensitive data will be stored in secure circuits of other information systems and can be depersonalized using Military ID instead of first and last names if necessary.
The new registry will help make services more accessible and reduce bureaucratic burden thanks to the transition to digital solutions.
