Reporting data for voluntary military service
Objection to the transmission of data to the Federal Office of Defence Administration for the purpose of sending information material by the Bundeswehr possible until the end of February 2017
The 2011 Military Service Amendment Act came into force on 1 July 2011. Women and men who are German within the meaning of the Basic Law can now sign up for voluntary military service.
Pursuant to Section 58c of the Soldiers Act, the registration authorities must annually transmit the surnames, first names and current address of persons with German citizenship who will come of age in the coming year to the Federal Office of Defence Administration. From there, information material on activities in the armed forces is sent to the persons concerned.
In accordance with Section 36 (2) of the Federal Registration Act, data transfer is only permitted if the data subjects have not objected.
The affected women and men born in 2000 have until 28 February 2017 to exercise their right to object.
