Military Service Details Declaration for 2026 Commences

The Ministry of Defence has announced the commencement of the declaration process for military service details for individuals born in 2010 who will reach the age of 18 in 2026. The declaration must be submitted exclusively through the gov.cy portal, requiring the creation of a personal profile and user identification. Failure to submit the declaration, late submission, or inaccurate information will result in criminal penalties, such as imprisonment of up to six months or a fine of up to €1,000. Minors who have already submitted a declaration can apply for an exit permit through the digital service for issuing a military status certificate. For students in special schools, the process will be carried out manually at the schools with the assistance of the Recruitment Offices, to facilitate parents/guardians. Interested parties can contact the local Recruitment Offices for more information. Contact numbers are provided for the Recruitment Offices of Nicosia, Limassol, Famagusta and Paphos. The announcement from the Ministry of Defence aims to ensure a smooth and timely completion of the process, as well as to inform conscripts and their families about their obligations and the procedures they need to follow.
