Vladimir Putin approved a law granting the Ministry of Defence and Rosgvardiya the right to request information from the Unified State Register of Civil Status Records (EGR ZAGS) in electronic form. The change comes into effect on July 26.
As noted by State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin, the goal of the innovation is to ensure that military personnel and their families receive due support without bureaucratic delays. The agencies will be able to promptly obtain data on military personnel, civilian staff, those discharged from service, and their family members. Previously, such information was transmitted on paper, which slowed down the process of processing payments. In addition, access to ZAGS information will help optimize military registration.
The law clarifies the list of officials authorized to send requests to the register. This includes commanders and chiefs of military units of both the Russian Armed Forces and Rosgvardiya.
