Deferrals issued online were automatically extended in “Reserve”
8 May 05:23
An important update has been introduced to the Reserve application. In particular, citizens who received deferrals online have had their validity automatically extended. Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine for Digital Development, Digital Transformation and Digitalization Kateryna Chernogorenko said this on Facebook, according to "Komersant Ukrainian"
“The updated date should already be displayed in the ‘Reserve’ for students, graduate students, parents with many children in one marriage, and people with disabilities,” Chernogorenko wrote.
She also added that the government adopted Resolution 560, which provides for the following:
- “It will be possible to generate a full-fledged referral to the “Reserve” independently, without the electronic signature of the head of the TCC;
- MCCs will no longer send people with disabilities to the VTC.
“I am grateful to the Government for its support in simplifying the processes for persons liable for military service! We continue to work on new types of deferments,” summarized the Deputy Minister of Defense.
What types of deferment can be applied to the Reserve
The Reserve in Ukraine mobile application allows you to apply for deferment from mobilization. This digital service greatly simplifies the procedure and allows citizens to avoid the need to personally visit territorial recruitment and social support centers (TSCs). The introduction of deferments through the app is part of the overall digitalization strategy in Ukraine aimed at facilitating access to public services.
Types of deferrals available in the app
1. Deferral for persons with disabilities. This feature was introduced in November 2024. It allows people with disabilities of the first, second or third group to get an online deferral without unnecessary procedures. The application automatically checks data against registers, which minimizes bureaucracy.
2. Deferment for students and postgraduates. Undergraduate and graduate students of full-time or dual enrollment can apply for a deferment. After technical issues were resolved in January 2025, this feature became available again. Student status is verified through educational registries, which ensures the speed of application processing.
3. Deferral for parents of large families. Parents of three or more children can also apply for a deferment through the Reserve. This feature is especially important for those who are unable to attend the TCC due to family obligations. Information on the number of children is verified through the relevant state registers.
Legal force of electronic documents
A deferment issued by the Reserve has the same legal force as a paper military registration document. This is enshrined in the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of May 2024. Government agencies are obliged to accept such documents on a par with traditional ones.
The application also contains a function of storing an electronic military document, which allows users to have it at hand at any time.
How to apply for a deferment through the Reserve
The application process is as simple as possible:
- Authorization. Register or log in to the application using BankID or another electronic identification system.
- Select the type of deferral. Select the appropriate category and fill out the application.
- Data verification. The system automatically checks the information through state registers.
- Receiving the result. After the application is reviewed, the user receives a notification of approval or refusal.
In addition, the application has a function to track the status of the application in real time.
