Military ID card for those who did not serve

In May, a new law regulating mobilization came into force. The norms of this law influenced the transformation of the content of more than a dozen other legal acts. Subsequently, Government Resolution № 560 was also adopted, which also regulates mobilization and military registration. According to the legislative changes, men are now required to carry a military registration document (i.e., a military ID card). Therefore, the question of where to get one for men who have not served in the military as part of their conscript service becomes natural.

What is the procedure for obtaining a military ID?

The procedure for obtaining a military ID card is to some extent similar to the procedure for updating data. A person liable for military service needs to apply to the TCC and the JV to provide information about himself or herself. After that, you have to pass a military registration and enlistment commission and receive the necessary document. If you are not registered anywhere, you must first be registered, and only then - get a military ID card.

The media reports that it will soon be possible to obtain a military registration document through the ASC, but it is too early to analyze this news. We need to see if and how this will be implemented in practice.

Why is it worth getting legal support?

The legislation on mobilization is very dynamic. Sometimes even the professional community can hardly keep up with its updates, especially when it comes to those legal acts whose provisions create a conflict. For example, this is the case with Law №10449, adopted in April, and Resolution № 560, which has already been mentioned. In jurisprudence, there is a principle of hierarchy of legal acts, where in case of a legal conflict, it is the provisions of the law that should be followed, not the resolution. But how the TCCs and JVs will operate in practice remains an open question.

There are also examples of abuse of authority by representatives of the TCC and JV - up to and including military mobilization, even though there are grounds for deferral. That is why, before interacting with their officials, it is worth seeking professional legal support from specialists who will help minimize the risks. When you contact the lawyers of the Prikhodko & Partners Law Firm for this purpose, we can help in the following ways:

1. Provide advisory support. You can find a lot of information on mobilization and military registration on the Internet. For the sake of loud headlines, the truth is often presented mixed with unreliable data, so it can be difficult for a person who does not have professional legal knowledge to understand it on their own. To avoid such a problem, use the help of lawyers who can really help you and guide you to the legal norms that are relevant to your situation.
2. Provide legal support. This applies not only to the representative function in interaction with government agencies, but also to the possibility of physical support to the transfer pricing committee and the joint venture. This minimizes the risk of officials exceeding their authority.
3. Representation in court. If other legal instruments to protect your rights have not worked, going to court remains a proven and effective option. We can help you with this, as we have sufficient practice and extensive experience.
