The presence of a military registration document when crossing the border is a mandatory condition for all male citizens of Ukraine aged 18 to 60, starting July 17, 2024, the State Border Guard Service (SBGS) has reminded.
“When crossing the border to leave, border guards check military registration documents of all male citizens of Ukraine aged 18 to 60. The document can be either paper or electronic,” the State Border Guard Service emphasizes.
It is noted that on July 16, the deadline established by the law of Ukraine expired, during which citizens of Ukraine had to register for military service or clarify their military registration data.
In the absence of a military registration document, border guards refuse to cross the state border to leave Ukraine.
Another reason for refusal will be the presence in the Unified State Register of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service and Reservists of information about the person being put on the wanted list. In such cases, a police officer will be called to the place to carry out administrative detention of the person and bring him/her to the nearest territorial center of recruitment and social support (TSC and SS).
A separate mention is made of the category of men who have the right to cross the border due to deferment from conscription or exclusion from military registration for health reasons. Their military registration documents must contain information on the receipt of such a deferment or exclusion from military registration or a certificate in the form specified in Annex 6 of the Procedure for the Conscription of Citizens for Military Service during Mobilization, for a Special Period, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of May 16, 2024, No. 560.
The categories of persons who, in accordance with the Rules for Crossing the Border by Citizens of Ukraine, are allowed to leave Ukraine have not changed at this time.
