Yes, the military commissariat or a military unit must issue a death certificate of a serviceman after his death. This is one of the first steps in the process of filing a case on the death of a soldier and further providing assistance to his family. A death certificate is an official document that confirms the fact of the death of a military member and can be used for further legal and administrative procedures, including obtaining benefits and benefits.
After receiving the death certificate, the relatives of the deceased soldier should contact the military unit with a request to provide the necessary documents and information.
Here is a list of documents that may be requested:
Extract from the order on the exclusion of a serviceman from the lists of personnel in connection with the death: Extract from the order on the exclusion of the serviceman from the lists of the personnel in connection with the death is a document that confirms the fact of the exclusion of a serviceman from the lists of a military unit or other military institution due to his death

Information from the personal file about the composition of the family of the deceased: This document contains information about the composition of the family of the deceased soldier, which may be necessary for the assignment of assistance and other social benefits.
Information on the amount of additional compensation paid on the date of the death of the serviceman (cash certificate): This document contains information about any payments or compensations that were accrued or paid to the serviceman before his death. After collecting all the necessary documents, the relatives or dependents of the deceased serviceman apply to the district territorial center of recruitment and social support. When submitting an application to the recruitment and social support center, you should provide all the necessary documents and information to help organize the case and quickly assign a payment. The center usually provides consultations and helps families of fallen soldiers with all issues related to receiving social benefits and payments.
Currently, a civil servant can personally make a personal order in case of his death (death). It's an innovation that could give the military more control and options in determining how a lump sum payment is distributed in the event of their death or bereavement. This approach appears to allow the military to more individually plan financial support for their families and dependents in the event of tragic circumstances.
This may include the ability to identify specific individuals who will receive assistance, as well as the distribution of that assistance as a percentage among different recipients. This approach can take into account the individual needs and situations of each soldier and his family.
