When a Military Medical Board Declares You Unfit: Mandatory Removal from Registry by Recruitment Centers.

Regional Military Medical Commission Rulings

According to Novyny.live: A decision by the Regional Military Medical Commission (RMMC) declaring an individual unfit for military service requires the Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC) to remove that person from the military registry. Those deemed unfit must receive a medical certificate confirming their condition. This process is critical for Ukrainian men aged 17 to 60, who are legally required to be registered.

Under current law, all male citizens between 17 and 60 must remain on the military registry. Once the RMMC determines unfitness, the TRC is obligated to strike the individual from the rolls. If questions arise about this procedure, citizens are advised to seek legal counsel.

'Yes, if the RMMC has approved the medical certificate, the TRC must remove you from the military registry.' — Yuriy Ayvazyan

Obtaining the Medical Certificate

Securing the medical certificate is a crucial step. This document formally proves a person's unfitness for service. Vladyslav Deriy, an expert in this field, offers the following advice:

'I strongly recommend obtaining a copy of the medical certificate that states your unfitness. If a system glitch occurs, that certificate will serve as proof of your status.' — Vladyslav Deriy

Citizens may also be removed from the military registry under other circumstances, including:

• reaching the maximum age limit;
• being declared missing;
• losing Ukrainian citizenship.

Therefore, the process of deregistration following an MMEC decision is essential for those deemed unfit. Vladyslav Deriy emphasizes the importance of proper documentation:

For individuals classified as unfit for service, obtaining the medical certificate is a necessary step to avoid potential legal complications later. Following all procedures and securing the required documents to confirm one’s status is vital.

This process matters not only for those declared unfit but also for government authorities responsible for accurate record-keeping. Proper document preparation and registration in the 'Oberih' system will prevent future confusion, especially during active mobilization efforts. Citizens in this situation should carefully navigate each stage to protect their rights and legal interests.
