Cabinet resolution #747 of June 26, 2024
Decision-maker: the Cabinet of Ministers
Status: in effect since June 26, 2024
Who is affected: citizens of Ukraine, conscripts, service members, persons subject to military service, and reservists
Summary: the resolution clarifies the procedure for notifying conscripts, persons subject to military service, and reservists. Conscription notices or other documents summoning a person to the military recruitment centers, the Central Office of the Security Service of Ukraine, its regional offices, or units of intelligence agencies can be sent by registered mail with a contents description and delivery notification.
Confirmation of receipt of the conscription notice when sent by mail includes:
- the day the person receives the postal item, confirmed by information or documents from the postal operator
- the day a note is made in the postal notification about refusal to accept the postal item or a note indicating the person is absent at the specified residential address.
What is right: the resolution implements the provision about “notification of conscription notice delivery by mail.” It’s important to note that this resolution does not amend Cabinet resolution #560 on the mobilization procedure under martial law but only introduces the standard procedure for delivering conscription notices by mail.
