The defence ministry announced on Friday the launch of the digital service “e-registration” for conscripts of the national guard intake, with the platform now open for the submission of selection data declarations.

The system will remain available until midnight on May 3 and is accessible through the government portal under the “Military Service” section.

Access requires users to create and verify a citizen profile on gov.cy.

The ministry stated that “those conscripts who have not proceeded with the creation of a profile and its identification are requested to immediately resolve this”, as registration is necessary for participation in the allocation process.

Through the platform, conscripts can submit their selection data declaration and supporting documents, indicating preferences for placement within the national guard structure.

The process covers allocation to branches, arms and corps, unit placement, and selection for specific service categories, including reserve officer candidates and roles in special forces such as commandos, military police and other specialised units.

It also includes options for technical specialties, advanced technological roles, military music, and other designated service pathways within the force structure.

Alongside the digital platform, a classification support centre has been activated at the defence ministry to assist applicants during the submission process.

A dedicated hotline, 1430, is available to conscripts, parents and guardians for enquiries throughout the registration period.

The support service operates on weekdays from 8.00am to 17.00pm, and on public holidays from 8.00am to 13.00pm.

Officials said the combined digital and support framework is intended to facilitate the orderly processing of conscription data and improve access to information during the selection phase for the 2026 intake.
