A fine in the amount of 17,000 hryvnias can be imposed for untimely performance of the duties of a conscript. For example, if you did not timely replace the registration certificate several years ago or did not notify about a change in marital status, such a fine may be imposed.
Examples of situations with the imposition of a fine
Cases from practice:
- Male, 35 years old. At the age of 27, he had to replace his registration card with a military ID. He comes to the Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center (TCC) after several years, and is informed of a fine of UAH 17,000, a protocol is drawn up and a receipt is issued for payment.
- Another situation: a person wants to clarify his data, comes to the TCC, but receives a fine of UAH 17,000 because he did not update them in a timely manner.
- The TCC believes that the imposition of a fine of UAH 17,000 is legitimate even after a long time. Unfortunately, some institutions ignore Article 8 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, which raises doubts about the fairness of such decisions.
Thus, we can see that not always the actions of TCC representatives are legitimate, and you should not blindly agree to everything. Instead, we advise you to turn on critical thinking and slowly understand the situation.
Article 8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses
According to Article 8 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, a person can be held administratively liable only under the law that was in force at the time of the violation. If liability has been increased, the law is not retroactive. However, if the liability was reduced or abolished altogether, then the retroactive effect of the law applies.
Question
What is the retrospective application of the fine?
Respond
If, in the example, a person did not register for military registration at the age of 27 and did not replace the prescription with a military card, then, according to Article 8 of the Code of Civil Procedure, liability must be applied according to the law that was in force 10 years ago, and not according to the new legislation.
Application of new fines
A fine of 17,000 hryvnias for violating the rules of mobilization and keeping military records came into force only on May 19, 2024. Until now, the maximum fine was 1,700 hryvnias. Therefore, it is not possible to prosecute for violations committed before this date under new fines.
How to understand when a fine has been committed for untimely application to the TCC and SP?
- When you turn 27 years old, you must contact the Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support (TCC and SP) within 5-7 days to register for military service.
- If the specified term has passed, an administrative offense is already committed the next day.
- From this moment, it is necessary to determine which law is in force at that time: whether the fine will be 1,700 hryvnias or possibly less, since the amount of fines was constantly changing.
New terms of bringing to administrative responsibility
On May 19, a new norm was introduced, which establishes the terms for bringing people to administrative responsibility. This is very important, because if the period of prosecution has expired, then the person cannot be prosecuted.
Question
What is stipulated in the Law of May 19 on the terms for prosecution?
Respond
According to Articles 210 and 210-1, the term for bringing to administrative responsibility is three months from the moment of detection, but no more than one year from the moment of committing the offense. For example, you come to the TCC today, where it turns out that the offense was committed 10 years ago. Thus, the period exceeds one year, and therefore you cannot be prosecuted.

However, to avoid more serious consequences in the future, it is very important to appeal the decision in a timely manner. The application of fines in the amount of UAH 17,000 should be based on the current legislation. If the violation was committed before May 19, 2024, then it is inappropriate to impose a new fine, since it only applies from that date.
