Mobilisation rules have changed many times, and it is easy to get lost in the information noise: is the call-up notice lawful, what data needs updating, what happens if you do not report to the Territorial Recruitment Centre (TCC/ТЦК). A consultation helps you make sense of your specific situation rather than general advice from social media.
The lawyer reviews your documents in advance, explains your rights and obligations under the current legislation, assesses the risks and suggests a sequence of actions. You get answers to your questions and a clear plan: what you can do yourself and where you need a lawyer's help.
When to seek help
- You have received a call-up notice and do not know what to do
- The Reserv+ app shows you as wanted or shows data that is incorrect
- You plan to travel abroad or return to Ukraine and want to understand the restrictions
- You are not sure whether you have grounds for deferral
- You have been issued a referral to the Military Medical Commission (MMC/ВЛК)
- You are abroad and want to sort out your military registration
What the lawyer does
Analysis of your situation
Before the consultation we review the documents you send: call-up notices, Reserv+ data, certificates. That way the consultation time is spent on solutions, not on establishing the facts.
Explaining rights and obligations
We explain what the law does and does not require of you: reporting on a call-up notice, updating your data, carrying a military registration document, undergoing the MMC.
Risk assessment
We speak frankly about the possible consequences (a fine, being placed on the wanted list, restrictions, criminal liability) and about how to act without breaking the law or worsening your position.
Plan of next steps
We set out specific actions in order and with deadlines: what to submit, where to apply, which documents to collect, and where it is worth engaging a lawyer for ongoing support.
Documents to prepare
- Passport and military registration document or a screenshot from Reserv+
- Call-up notices, referrals, TCC offence reports or decisions, if any
- Medical records, if the question concerns your health
- Documents on family circumstances: children's birth certificates, documents on relatives' disabilities
- A list of the questions you want to ask
What you get
- Answers to your questions in light of current legislation
- An assessment of the risks in your situation
- An action plan with a list of documents and deadlines
- By arrangement, a short written summary of the consultation
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a consultation if I am abroad?
Yes. We hold consultations online, so where you are does not matter. We will explain how persons liable for military service who are abroad should comply with military registration requirements, the consequences of breaching them and what you need to know before returning to Ukraine. If further work is needed, we will propose its scope and fee.
Is it lawful to serve call-up notices in the street?
The law allows call-up notices to be served not only at the place of residence or work, but also during notification in public places, and to be sent by post. At the same time, the procedure sets requirements for how service is documented and recorded. Whether they were met in your case can be assessed by looking at the notice itself.
Is attorney-client privilege maintained during a consultation?
Yes. The fact that you contacted a lawyer and everything you tell them are protected by attorney-client privilege under Art. 22 of the Law of Ukraine "On the Bar and Practice of Law". So you can describe your situation openly, even if you think you have broken the rules somewhere.
