Russian military enlistment offices could gain access to an extensive range of personal information not only about people liable for military service but also about their relatives. The Russian Ministry of Defense has prepared a corresponding draft order. The document has been published on the federal portal for draft regulations, with its anti-corruption review scheduled to be completed on September 1, 2026.

Under the proposal, government agencies and private companies would be required to provide military enlistment offices, upon request, with information about citizens' financial circumstances. The data would include bank accounts and deposits, tax returns, loans and outstanding debts. Military enlistment offices would also be able to obtain information about employment and business activities.

The collection of information would not be limited to financial data. Individual records could also include information about road accidents, foreign passports, foreign-agent status, as well as administrative and criminal cases.

Medical information would constitute a separate category. According to the draft order, healthcare institutions would be required to disclose information about citizens' diagnoses, including mental disorders, HIV, viral hepatitis, tuberculosis and various forms of addiction.

The collection of personal data would extend well beyond the individual liable for military service. Military enlistment offices could also obtain information about their spouse, children, parents, brothers and sisters, as well as brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.

The Ministry of Defense says the proposed changes are necessary to more accurately assess citizens' fitness for military service and optimize Russia’s mobilization resources.
