Women and men who are German within the meaning of the Basic Law have the opportunity to perform voluntary military service. By the spring of each year, the registration authorities are obliged under Section 58c of the Soldiers Act to transmit the surname, first names and current address of persons with German citizenship who come of age in the following year to the Federal Office of Defence Administration.
