In Russia, a draft order has been drawn up to restrict the right to drive a vehicle for citizens who fail to appear at the military registration and enlistment office when they have received a summons. The draft regulation from the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been published on the site that hosts draft normative legal acts. The scope of the procedure covers citizens who are subject to initial military registration, both those with and without military records, with a mandatory requirement to be listed in the military register.

The document states that within one day of the decision to ban driving, this information will be entered into the State Traffic Inspectorate software. It also clarifies that the driving restriction will be lifted once a decision is made in the registry to abolish the temporary measures. The process is described as swift and automatic, designed to reflect the latest status of each individual in real time within the relevant systems.

Maksut Shadayev, the Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media, noted in May that the register of persons liable for military service is planned to begin operation in the autumn draft period. This timeline indicates a coordinated effort to link civil mobility controls with the military service registry, ensuring that enforcement aligns with the ongoing and upcoming conscription cycles.
