If you are on military registration and your information exists in Ukraine's Register of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service and Reservists, you can generate an electronic military registration document online through the Diia portal. Sign in to your citizen account with an electronic signature, check your data, sign the generated application and submit it. The service is free and Diia states that the document is generated automatically within 10 minutes. It is sent to your email and can also be downloaded from Received Documents in your Diia account. The document is valid only with its QR code, which can be checked with Reserve+. If your military-registration data changes, generate a new document before using it.
What you need
- You must be on military registration as a conscript, person liable for military service or reservist.
- Your information must exist in the Register of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service and Reservists, commonly known as Oberih.
- You need access to a Diia citizen account.
- You need an electronic signature to authorize and sign the online application.
- Check the military-registration information retrieved from the register before signing the application.
- If your underlying military-registration data has changed since a document was generated, order a new document before using it.
Eligibility
The Diia service is available to users who are already on military registration and whose information is present in the Register of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service and Reservists. This includes the military-registration categories covered by Cabinet Resolution No. 559. The service generates a document from existing register information; it is not an application to create military-registration data from scratch. The Ministry of Defence's Reserve+ guidance also notes that when a person's register status is 'Requires clarification', an electronic military registration document and QR code are not generated in Reserve+, so the underlying register issue must be addressed rather than treating a missing document as a normal generation delay.
How to do it
- Open the military registration document service on the Diia portal.
- Register or sign in to your Diia citizen account using an electronic signature.
- Check the personal and military-registration information retrieved from the official register.
- Review the application generated by Diia.
- Sign the application electronically and submit it.
- Wait for automatic processing. Diia states that the document is generated and delivered within 10 minutes.
- Download the completed document from the Received Documents section of your Diia citizen account or use the copy delivered to your email.
- Keep the QR code visible if you print the document. The electronic document is valid only when it contains the QR code.
- When the document needs to be checked, its QR code can be scanned with the Reserve+ application to validate the current information.
- If your military-registration information changes, generate the document again before using it so the document reflects the current register data.
Who can use the Diia military document service?
The Diia service is intended for people who are on military registration and have information in the Register of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service and Reservists.
The document is generated from the information already held in that register. It therefore does not replace the separate processes used to establish, update or correct military-registration data.
The electronic military registration document is governed by Cabinet Resolution No. 559 of 16 May 2024, which remains in force in its current amended version in 2026.
How do you get the document through Diia?
The online procedure is free and short. Diia estimates about one minute to submit the application and up to 10 minutes for processing.
- Open the military registration document service on Diia.
- Sign in or register in the citizen account using an electronic signature.
- Check the information shown by the service.
- Review the automatically generated application.
- Sign it electronically and submit it.
The completed document is sent to your email and is also available for download from Received Documents in your Diia citizen account.
Where does the information in the document come from?
The electronic document uses information from Ukraine's Register of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service and Reservists, also known as the Oberih register.
The Ministry of Defence's current Reserve+ guidance shows that electronic military-registration information can include the person's military-registration status and category, the date the document was last updated, deferment or reservation information where applicable, and other military-registration data held in the register.
Because the document reflects registry information, incorrect underlying data should be corrected rather than manually altered in the downloaded document.
What does the QR code prove?
Cabinet Resolution No. 559 requires the electronic military registration document to contain a unique electronic identifier in the form of a QR code. Under the regulation, the electronic document is valid only when the QR code is present and cannot be used without it.
The QR code makes it possible to retrieve and verify the relevant electronic military-registration information using authorized technical means. Diia specifically states that the validity and current information in its generated document can be checked by scanning the QR code with the Reserve+ application.
How is the QR code checked?
The Ministry of Defence explains that Reserve+ includes a document scanner. An authorized checker can scan the QR code displayed on another person's electronic military registration document and retrieve the information needed to validate it.
This QR code is part of the military registration document itself. It should not be confused with the temporary validation codes used for unrelated digital documents in the general Diia application.
Can you print the electronic document?
Yes. Cabinet Resolution No. 559 expressly permits an electronic military registration document to be printed. A printed version must retain a QR code that can be successfully read.
The Ministry of Defence confirmed in 2026 that an electronic military registration document in Reserve+, on the Diia portal or printed with its QR code is the standard electronic form used for ordinary conscripts covered by the relevant rules.
Before relying on a printout, make sure the QR code has not been cropped, obscured or made unreadable.
Regenerate the document after your data changes
Diia gives a specific instruction for this situation: if your data changes, order the document again before using it.
Do not assume that an older downloaded PDF automatically updates when information changes in the military register. Generate a new document so the downloadable version corresponds to the current data.
What if the document is not generated?
Diia states that the extract is generated automatically and should arrive by email and in the citizen account within 10 minutes.
If the document contains incorrect information or is not accepted, Diia directs users to the Reserve+ support team for investigation. A problem with the information in the military register is different from a technical delay in generating the document.
The Ministry of Defence's Reserve+ guidance also states that where the register displays the status 'Requires clarification', the electronic military registration document and QR code are not generated in Reserve+. In that situation, the application displays the available Oberih register information instead.
Can the document confirm a deferment or employee reservation?
Yes, where the relevant information exists in the register. Diia states that information about a deferment from conscription is displayed in the electronic military registration document and, under the applicable wartime reservation procedure, can confirm employee reservation.
If the relevant status has recently changed, generate a fresh document rather than relying on a previously downloaded copy.
Is the electronic document legally valid?
Yes. The current rules expressly provide for a military registration document in electronic form. Ministry of Defence guidance states that the electronic document has the same legal force as the corresponding paper military-registration document.
For ordinary conscripts, the Ministry of Defence reiterated in April 2026 that the electronic military registration document in Reserve+, on the Diia portal or printed with its QR code is the standard form that can be checked where military-registration documentation is required.
Diia portal or Reserve+: what is the difference?
Both services use official military-registration information, but they provide different user routes. The Diia portal lets an eligible person submit an electronically signed request and obtain a downloadable military registration document by email and in the citizen account.
Reserve+ is the Ministry of Defence's electronic cabinet for conscripts, persons liable for military service and reservists. It can display the electronic military registration document directly in the mobile application and provides the scanner used to validate another document's QR code.
You do not need to generate separate military-registration identities for the two services: the underlying military-registration information comes from the state register.
Final checks before you use the document
- Confirm that your name and other displayed information are correct.
- Make sure the document contains its readable QR code.
- If you print it, do not crop or damage the QR code.
- If your military-registration data, deferment or other relevant information has changed, generate a new document.
- Use Reserve+ to validate the QR code when verification is required.
- Do not edit the generated PDF manually; corrections must be made through the appropriate military-registration data process.
