REMOVAL FROM MILITARY REGISTRATION ON THE BASIS OF PERMISSION TO DEPARTURE FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE ABROAD

Many Ukrainians today are in such a legal status that makes it possible to move abroad for permanent residence. This applies, among other things, to men who are exempted from service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine for health reasons or other circumstances (for example, guardianship of an incompetent parent). In this case, there should be no unnecessary barriers to exit. But this statement is relevant only if you have taken care of the legal side of the issue in advance. In our law office, you can order both a consultation and full legal support for the procedure for deregistration on the basis of the fact that you have a passport or residence permit of another state.

What is the algorithm of interaction with government agencies?

When you have a document: a passport or a residence permit of another state, you can apply with it to the State Migration Service, choosing for this the territorial division of this body closest to you.

A specialist from the migration service will notify you that in order to process exit documents, you must first contact the Tercentre for Recruitment and Social Support (or, as the people say, the military registration and enlistment office) and deregister from the military register.

Important to remember!!! Removal from military registration must be confirmed by an appropriate certificate. Very often, people who want to cross the border without this document face obstacles even when there is every reason for such freedom of movement. Therefore, in order not to become a hostage of bureaucracy, it is better to take the help of a qualified lawyer.

What marks should be in the documents?

The Law of Ukraine "On the Procedure for Departure from Ukraine and Entry into Ukraine of Citizens of Ukraine" contains legal norms that regulate how documents should be drawn up for unhindered border crossing. If a person travels for the first time, the passport document must have a stamp indicating that the travel abroad for permanent residence has been issued. When it comes to a person who permanently resides abroad, then, in addition to the aforementioned stamp, the document should contain a note that he was taken on a permanent consular register. In addition, consular registration is confirmed by a certificate generated by using information from the MFA system.

Perhaps, having carefully read the previous paragraph, someone remarked that there was no question of any certificate from the military registration and enlistment office. But in fact, in order to get the mentioned mark in the passport, this certificate is needed, confirming that the person has been removed from the military register. In this case, everything is in a causal relationship.

What problems can you face?

Among the common problems that people who need a deregistration document face are:

• inconsistent work of different departments among themselves and the risk of becoming a victim of bureaucracy;
• delays and the inability to constructively resolve the issue, even if there are all legal grounds;
• excess of authority by officials of the military registration and enlistment office, on which, in wartime conditions, it depends whether a person can freely issue travel documents.

Although the legislation, at first glance, seems clear and often there is a desire to independently resolve all these issues, in practice everything is much more complicated. Therefore, competent legal support from a specialist with extensive experience in this category of cases will be very appropriate.
