MoD launches beta testing of new deferments in Reserve+
New categories of mobilization deferments will soon be available in the Reserve+ mobile app.
The following categories will be able to obtain a deferment online:
- single parents raising a child under the age of 18;
- individuals providing care for a parent with a disability.
The Ministry of Defence invites citizens from these categories to join the beta testing and be among the first to use the new functionality. To participate, please fill out a short form using the link.
As a reminder, the online application for deferment operates as follows: request submission in Reserve+ → the system verifies eligibility through the relevant state registers → upon confirmation, the deferment is granted and the information is displayed in the electronic military document.
The process is fully automated, usually takes only a few hours, and does not require collecting certificates, visiting enlistment offices, or waiting through lengthy case review procedures. Reserve+ enables the issuance of decisions in a transparent and timely manner without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Currently, the following categories are eligible to obtain a deferment through Reserve+:
- individuals with disabilities;
- parents of three or more children born to the same marriage;
- parents of children with disabilities;
- spouses who are service members with a child;
- spouses of individuals with disabilities;
- individuals deemed temporarily unfit for service;
- students and postgraduates;
- employees of higher and vocational education institutions.
