Who Can Deregister from the Military

The deregistration process is provided by law for certain categories of citizens:

• Citizens who have completed military service – they are automatically deregistered after service.
• Students and individuals going abroad – upon providing documents confirming studies or work abroad.
• Persons with medical restrictions – with a commission’s conclusion that a person is unfit for service.
• Change of residence – when relocating to another region or country, a citizen has the right to request transfer or deregistration.

Example: Alexander, who completed university abroad, submitted supporting documents to the military office. He was then successfully deregistered from the military.
