How can I remove myself from the TCC search list remotely?

Adding conscripts to the wanted list is a fairly common practice these days, as territorial centers actively handle such cases. At the same time, it's important to understand that such actions are not always legal. If you've been placed on the TCC wanted list and you're unsure what to do, "Prikhodko&Partners" Law Firm helps clients effectively resolve such issues.

Reasons for declaring a search for the TCC

A person is placed on the military registration and enlistment office's wanted list for violating military registration rules or failing to comply with mobilization legislation. Common grounds for being placed on the military register include failure to remain registered (including upon reaching the age of 17 or changing residence), failure to promptly update military registration data, and failure to notify the TCC of changes to personal information.

Other reasons for being placed on the wanted list include failure to appear in response to a summons without good reason, ignoring summonses, refusing or evading a military medical examination, and failure to comply with mobilization requirements. Furthermore, conscripts who fail to register at their new place of residence, particularly internally displaced persons (IDPs), are at risk.

Such violations entail administrative liability under Articles 210 and 210-1 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, and in extreme cases, criminal liability.

Removal from the wanted list without visiting the TCC

Currently, there are several ways to resolve the issue remotely, depending on the grounds and the chosen defense strategy.

1. The fastest option is to use the "Reserve+" app. In this case, the applicant submits an application online, receives a ruling on the administrative offense, and pays the fine. After payment, the data is automatically updated, and the wanted list is removed. However, you understand that this method requires admitting the offense, effectively making you an administrative offender. This method also does not guarantee that you won't be placed on the wanted list again for another offense in the future.
2. Submitting an official application to the military registration and enlistment office requesting the removal of the illegal wanted list. Typically, such an application is submitted by registered mail with a description to ensure the military registration and enlistment office receives it.
3. An alternative is to apply through a lawyer. The representative will handle all communications, prepare the documents, and oversee the removal process.
4. Another optimal solution is a court appeal. If the TCC's actions are proven to be unlawful, the wanted list is subject to cancellation by a court decision. In most cases, the military registration and enlistment office commits procedural violations, such as missing the statute of limitations, failing to deliver the summons, etc., and therefore the court rules in favor of the plaintiff.

Important! Please understand that in many cases, the second and third methods do not always yield a guaranteed result due to the TCC ignoring such requests altogether and failing to respond. Therefore, we always recommend consulting with a military lawyer beforehand, who can recommend the best course of action.

Pros and cons of methods for removing the TCC search

What should I do if the TCC doesn't respond to my requests?

First of all, you should engage a lawyer to submit a request for legal representation. Such a request obligates the military registration and enlistment office to provide a response within the legally established timeframe (up to 7 days). However, in practice, responses may be delayed or not provided at all.

We also recommend filing complaints with higher authorities, particularly the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. This will increase pressure and draw attention to the violation of your rights.

If none of these mechanisms are effective, going to court remains an effective defense tool.

Could TCC be put on the wanted list again?

Yes, being added to the wanted list again is not an isolated occurrence. Even after paying a fine through Reserve+ and being removed from the wanted list, an individual may reappear in the databases.

One reason is the presence of multiple separate violations. Let's imagine a situation: you received two summonses to appear at the TCC, you paid the fine through the app, effectively closing one administrative offense, and then the system/territorial center reactivates the search for another violation.

At the same time, there are situations where a repeated entry is unfounded, and therefore, in such cases, the military enlistment office's actions are subject to appeal.

Judicial practice and appeals against the search of the TCC

An analysis of judicial practice reveals a positive trend regarding appeals against wanted lists. In most cases, courts side with plaintiffs provided they establish the absence of proper grounds for placing the individual on the wanted list.

For example, in cases № 380/15018/25, № 200/6077/25 and № 600/2277/25-a, the courts concluded that:

• the failure to properly serve a summons makes it impossible to prosecute;
• entering data into the Oberig registry without a warrant is illegal;
• the TCC's failure to properly contact the police does not create grounds for a search;
• the presence of a deferment and updated data also precludes the legality of such actions.

In fact, it can be concluded that the entry in Reserve+ itself is not proof of guilt, but only a technical element.

In general, the procedure for appealing a decision in court is as follows:

1. Analysis of the grounds - it is necessary to determine the basis for your inclusion on the wanted list: whether a summons was issued, whether a report was drawn up, whether a ruling was issued.
2. Preparation of the evidence base - collecting documents confirming the violation.
3. Filing a claim in the administrative court.
4. Court proceedings - assessing compliance with the procedure and the availability of proper evidence.
5. Compliance with the court decision - removing the wanted list information from the Oberig.
