These can be: medical certificates or conclusions of the medical and social expert commission (MSEK) in case of health problems, birth certificates of children, certificates of wife's pregnancy or documents on custody/care in case of family circumstances, a certificate from an educational institution for students full-time education, a certificate from the place of work or other supporting documents in the case of professional activity.
- Submitting an application: after collecting all the documents, you need to submit an application to the territorial recruitment center (TCC) or the military commissariat at your place of residence. The application must contain: the reason for the postponement, a list of attached documents, personal data and contact information.
- Examination of the application: TCC examines the application and the submitted documents. In case of a positive decision, a certificate of postponement is issued. If the documents are incomplete or there are grounds for refusal, the TCC may request additional information or refuse the postponement.
- Receiving a decision: after the application has been reviewed, the person is provided with an official decision. If a deferment is granted, a document confirming the right to deferment for a certain period is issued. In case of refusal, you have the right to appeal this decision administratively or through a court.
If the TCC refused to grant a deferment, you can appeal this decision. To do this, you need to: file a complaint with a higher body of the TCC or an administrative court, engage a lawyer to protect your rights and prepare relevant documents.
The validity period of the deferment depends on the reason for its granting. For example, it can be effective until the completion of training or recovery, or be established for a certain period with the possibility of extension if necessary. The postponement can be canceled if the circumstances justifying it have disappeared. In such cases, the person is subject to conscription in accordance with current legislation. Obtaining a deferment requires a careful approach and following the procedure to avoid the risk of being summoned against your rights.
