Sometimes, instead of a military ID, a certificate is issued to military personnel. This practice has existed in Russia for many years. And many are interested in the circumstances under which this document can be obtained. In addition, it is important to understand that a certificate of passage / non-passage of military service is the onset of a certain responsibility. What could be the consequences for a person? You need to know about all this. Fortunately, mostly men are interested in issues related to military ID and military service. They have a military duty. What should men of the Russian Federation know?
Military Ticket Issue
The first thing you should pay attention to is the situation in which a military ID is issued . It’s easy to guess. The thing is that all adult male citizens of the Russian Federation are obliged to undergo military service in the army. And after it, they will be issued with a corresponding confirmation document. This is a military ticket.
Also, after the contract service, a “warrior” is issued. Otherwise, a certificate of the established form may be issued. It is issued for several reasons and replaces a military ID. But for which? And are there any restrictions that a certificate imposes on a citizen, instead of a military ticket issued?
Legislative innovations
The first thing to note is that the document being studied is an innovation that has appeared in Russia relatively recently. In 2014, the Law on Military Service introduced some amendments. They concern just references and military IDs.
Previously, all citizens who underwent military service by urgent appeal were given a “military man”. This item has remained unchanged. Also, deviators were also given the corresponding document, but after 27 years. More precisely, after the end of military age.
Since 2014, in the legislation of the Russian Federation, instead of a military ID, a certificate of the established form appeared. It is issued to everyone who has not completed military service. But with a small caveat. We are talking about the phrase "without good reason." That is, not everyone who does not serve is threatened with a certificate, and not a military ID. In what cases will the study document be issued? What do future and current draftees need to know?
Deviators
The first category that falls under the law is the deviators. Such people do not serve in the army at all. And for no apparent good reason. All summons to the army are ignored. Often this category of citizens is also hiding.
After reaching 27 years of age, they are issued a certificate of evasion instead of a military ID. Additionally, a criminal case may be instituted for evasion. But the fact remains that a military ID is not issued. But the certificate, which confirms the end of the military age, takes place.
No reason
Perhaps, draft dodgers are one of the most common categories of people to whom a certificate of the established form is issued. In other cases, people try to confirm the existence of valid reasons for which they are given a delay.
In principle, any person who did not serve in the army (with the exception of women in the Russian Federation) and had no good reason, receives a certificate of the established form at the military registration and enlistment office. It is not necessary to specifically evade service.
By the way, it is precisely deviators, and intentional ones, who are the main recipients of the document under study. This has already been said. But what should I look for? What is the situation when a certificate is issued instead of a military ticket?
Activity limitations
The only thing to be afraid of (with the exception of the institution of a criminal case) is restrictions on the activities of a citizen. If there is a certificate from the military registration and enlistment office, as a rule, a person will be forbidden to work in certain areas.
For example, it is forbidden to work in government agencies, as well as in military fields. Service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs also becomes impossible. This should be remembered. Otherwise, if a citizen was issued a certificate instead of a military ID, you should not be afraid. This document is not as dangerous as it seems.
Appeal
Sometimes it happens that the studied paper is issued, but then it turns out that there are good reasons. Then you have to go to court to appeal. How good is this solution?
As practice shows, justice can only be achieved when valid reasons really exist. But they must be proved. Otherwise, if certificates were issued instead of military cards, you can not go to court.
Why? All due to the fact that judicial practice indicates frequent refusals and decision-making is not in favor of the plaintiffs. It’s just that they don’t give out the evasion certificate. So, there were reasons for that. Their absence will have to be confirmed.
For good reason
But what if the citizen, for good reason, did not do military or alternative service? What should he count on? Will there be any restrictions in this situation?
The thing is that a certificate from the military registration and enlistment office instead of a military ticket in this case is not issued. Good reasons are spelled out at the legislative level (about them a little later). Accordingly, if they are available, you can first get a reprieve from the army, and then even liberation. Everything is official.
In this case, a citizen is issued a military card. No help. If you have issued a second document, you should go to court to appeal the acts. Indeed, the presence of valid reasons is an occasion for obtaining a “warrior”.
Reasons for deferral
So, an important point is the study of situations that are recognized at the legislative level as valid both for deferment from the army and for complete release from military duty. Indeed, in this case they do not give a certificate instead of a military ID. It is worth remembering.
The following may be grounds for respect:
- Training. While a citizen is studying at a university, he is exempted from military conscription. After deduction (independent or for poor progress) is required to undergo military service. If a diploma is obtained, a person will also be called up. An exception is admission to a magistracy / graduate school / residency.
- Health status. Here either a deferment is provided to rectify the situation, or a full exemption is immediately issued. In the second case, a military ID will be immediately issued.
- Family circumstances. Extremely controversial reason. Situations may be different. Starting with caring for a disabled relative, ending with the presence of a pregnant wife. Fathers with many children, as a rule, are not called up for military service at all. Especially if they are the only breadwinners. Then they get a military ID, but there they must bear a note on the reason for exemption from military service.
The most important thing is to have documentary evidence. In the case of family circumstances, for example, deferment from conscription due to care for a needy family member, as a rule, is not always provided. The main requirement is that no one else can care. Otherwise, this privilege will be transferred to another relative, and previously the caretaker will be called to the service.
Having young children is another reason. If a citizen has minor children under 3 years old, he will not be drafted into the army. A grace period is granted for this period.
In the case of training, everything is also not as simple as it seems. Instead of a military ticket, a certificate is issued to draft deviators who study at non-accredited universities. Indeed, in this situation, a citizen is subject to appeal. And training here is not at all the basis for granting a deferment from the army.
Medical board
What other features are worth paying attention to? The thing is that if a citizen has medical indications for deferral, they, like all other good reasons, must be confirmed. How exactly?
By going through a medical board. The order is simple - the citizen is brought a summons to appear at the military registration and enlistment office at the medical board. All confirmation certificates should be contacted by the military commissariat. Then go through a medical examination, presenting doctors with health certificates. If everything is confirmed, then, as already mentioned, the draftee is given a reprieve. At least a year. And then, if the disease or illness can be cured.
Otherwise, it threatens complete liberation from the army. But this is not a reason for issuing a certificate of established form. It has already been said that a person will be required to issue a military ticket. At the same time, a potential category will be assigned to a potential conscript at the medical board. It is indicated in the "warrior" and serves as confirmation of the legal evasion of military service. All according to the law, no fraud.
conclusions
What can be summed up? The thing is that a certificate is not always issued instead of a military ID. The law "On Military Duty" indicates that the document under study threatens only those who "skip" the army until 27 years old and have no good reason for a delay or complete release.
In some cases, the issuance of a certificate may be appealed. But, as practice shows, such situations rarely end in success for citizens. Often the issued evasion certificate does not change to military ID. Only as a last resort is this possible.
Is this document afraid? It can bring informal employment problems. Also, as has already been said, it is forbidden for citizens who have not served in the army to work in some areas.
It should be noted one more fact - scientists and civil servants are not drafted into the army. They are issued a military ID, and not a certificate of the established form. And legally. An academic degree is a kind of exemption from service. In practice, it is not so common.
In any case, evading military draft is not worth it. This action will not only entail the receipt of a certificate of the established form, but may also lead to the opening of a criminal case.
