According to the updated law on mobilization, border guards at checkpoints will check the presence of a military registration document in certain categories of citizens. Colonel Andriy Demchenko, the spokesman of the State Border Service, gave this information.
In particular, according to the norms of Ukrainian legislation, male citizens of Ukraine aged 18 to 60 during martial law or mobilization are required to carry a military registration document together with a personal document and present them at the request of border guards.
At the checkpoints, the military registration document will be checked for the following categories of men:
- Reserved for the period of mobilization and wartime.
- Recognized as unfit for military service according to the opinion of the military medical commission.
- Maintain three or more children under the age of 18.
- They raise a child independently.
- They have a child (children) under the age of 18 and a spouse who is in military service.
- Other categories of persons defined by Art. 23 of the Law of Ukraine "On Mobilization Training and Mobilization".
These changes will not apply to certain categories of citizens, which are specified in separate clauses of the Rules for crossing the state border. They include persons with disabilities, accompanying persons with disabilities and children with disabilities, as well as employees of the transport industry, etc.
Demchenko recommends that you clarify your data in advance in the TCC and SP and enter information about receiving a deferment in the military registration document before leaving Ukraine.
