Online Deferral Applications Now Require Military Registration

New Deferral Application Requirements

According to ХВИЛЯ: Under new regulations, Ukrainian citizens who are not registered for military service are barred from applying for a deferral online. To proceed, they must visit a Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center (TCC) in person to complete their registration. The inability to process military registration documents remotely for certain groups of citizens complicates the deferral application process.

A deferral is only possible if an individual is already registered for military service. If automatic registration did not occur, a person lacks the status of a conscript in the system, which prevents them from using online services to apply. Specifically, the TsNAP service and the Reserve+ mobile app can only display or update data already present in the Oberih system.

Steps to Obtain a Deferral

For those seeking a deferral, it is important to know that valid grounds may include:

• Health status
• Family circumstances
• Education

The procedure for obtaining a deferral without military registration involves several stages. First, one must personally visit a TCC to register, undergo a military medical commission if required, and then submit an application for the deferral.

You must first register for military service. This is a mandatory condition for receiving a deferral.

These changes to the military service deferral procedure could significantly impact citizens who require such exemptions. With the ongoing war, it is crucial that individuals eligible for deferrals clearly understand the new rules and required steps. This will help mitigate risks and ensure the timely receipt of documents necessary to avoid mobilization. The policy aims to streamline the conscription process while managing exemptions during a national emergency.
