Military summons will be sent by mail — what has changed.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has made a new decision regarding the delivery of mobilization orders. Now, a military summons can be received via 'Ukrposhta' in the form of a valuable letter. The changes apply to individuals who have passed the medical commission and have no grounds for deferment.

Summons — now via mail

The government approved resolution No. 916 dated July 30, 2025, which makes adjustments to the procedure for military registration and conscription of citizens during mobilization. According to these changes, the mobilization order can now be sent as a valuable letter via 'Ukrposhta'. The document will be handed over either under personal signature or sent by postal service through regional territorial recruitment centers.

This innovation applies to those liable for military service who do not have the right to deferment and have recently passed the military medical commission (MMC). It also concerns those with a valid MMC conclusion, but the deferment has already expired. In this case, one should expect the summons specifically by mail.

The delivery of the summons via 'Ukrposhta' in the form of a valuable letter will allow for the official record of receipt of documents. Refusal or evasion of receipt may be regarded as intentional avoidance of mobilization.
