Recently, our team was asked a question: “Is it mandatory for Ukrainian men living in the UK to register for military service at the Consulate?”

We wanna share the answer from our specialists:

29.10.2025 08:38:35 As of my last update, Ukrainian men living abroad, including those in the UK, may be encouraged or required by Ukrainian law to register for military service with their local consulate. This requirement can depend on various factors such as age and specific circumstances related to Ukraine's national defense needs. However, the enforcement and specifics of such requirements can change depending on developments in Ukraine's legal framework or international agreements. For the most accurate and current information, it is best to contact the Ukrainian Consulate or Embassy directly in the UK. They can provide detailed guidance based on the latest regulations and any recent changes that may have occurred.

30.10.2025 11:28:24 Yes, under Ukrainian law, all male citizens aged 18 to 60, including those residing abroad, are required to remain on military registration records. According to the Law of Ukraine “On Military Duty and Military Service” and Cabinet Resolution No. 1487 of 2023, citizens living outside Ukraine must update their personal military data through consular registration. The Ukrainian Consulate in the UK performs this function by maintaining updated records of men of conscription and mobilization age. While such registration does not automatically entail mobilization abroad, it ensures compliance with national defense obligations and may be required for consular services, passport renewal, or certain legal acts.

30.10.2025 11:37:06 Military registration at the Ukrainian Consulate in the United Kingdom is mandatory for men between 18 and 60 years old who permanently or temporarily reside abroad. In line with Article 37 of the Law “On Military Duty and Military Service,” citizens must report their military status and provide relevant documents when applying for consular registration. The Consulate transmits this information to the territorial recruitment center in Ukraine. Failure to comply may result in administrative restrictions or refusal of certain services. However, registration itself is a formal obligation and does not imply immediate conscription or return for service while abroad.
