How to obtain a military registration card

The issuance of military tickets is carried out through the state service "Issuance of military tickets or their duplicates to military personnel" when submitting an application to the e-government portal.

The specified public service is provided to citizens;

• who have been discharged from military service or service in law enforcement, special state bodies and have served a fixed term of military service;
• released from places of deprivation of liberty and having served in military service or service in law enforcement, special state bodies and having served a fixed term of military service;
• those who arrived from other states and received citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan, from among those who previously served in military (alternative) service or service in law enforcement and special state bodies;
• those who have been reinstated in military rank and have served in military service or service in law enforcement and special state bodies, an electronic copy of the court's decision on reinstatement in military rank is attached to the application.

Also, the issuance of a military ID card is carried out when:

• to the loss or damage of a military ID by citizens who have served in military service or service in law enforcement, special state bodies, an electronic copy of the decree on the imposition of an administrative penalty for intentional damage or loss of a military registration document provided for in Article 649 of the Code "On Administrative Offenses" or a certificate from an authorized state body confirming the fact of loss or damage by circumstances beyond the control of the service recipient;
• the exchange of an old-style military ID for a new one by citizens who have served in military service or service in law enforcement, special state bodies, while the original military ID (old-style) is handed over to the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" upon receipt of a new military ID;
• changing the surname, first name, patronymic by citizens who have served in military service or service in law enforcement, special state bodies, while the original of the replaced military ID is handed over to the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" upon receipt of a newly issued military ID.

The current legislation does not have the concept of "alternative service" in our country, but there is an opportunity to take a course of study in the military reserve programs at the Military Technical School of the Ministry of Defense, abbreviated as МTS.

Training is provided on a paid basis (370,000 tenge) in 13 branches of the Higher School of Economics located in regional centers. Non-convicted male citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, fit or limited for military service for health reasons, over 24 years of age, as well as persons enjoying the right to a postponement are allowed to study.

The referral for training is carried out through the state service "Training of citizens in military-technical and other military specialties" when applying to the e-government portal, to which a medical examination card filled out by specialist doctors with the conclusion of the chairman of the medical commission on fitness for military service is attached.

After successful completion of training (obtaining a certificate):

• conscripts are transferred to the register of military service with the assignment of a military accounting specialty, according to the completed training program;
• military service personnel are assigned a military accounting specialty, according to the completed training program.

It is important to understand that the passage of military service is equated with the passage of military training in the Military School (paragraph 3 of Article 18 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On military service and the status of a serviceman").

Between the ages of 18 and 27, citizens are subject to conscription for military service.

Young people must report to the departments or departments of defense affairs at the place of military registration at the time specified in the agenda, take tests (blood, urine, fluorography and ECG) and undergo a medical examination, which sets each conscript a category for military service: "A" – fit for military service; "B" – fit for military service with minor restrictions; "B" – is only fit for military service; "G" – temporarily unfit for military service; "D" – not fit for military service in peacetime, limited fit in wartime; "E" – is not fit for military service with the exception of military registration.

The draft commission, after a personal conversation, taking into account the type of occupation, specialty, education, general development and based on the results of a medical examination, makes the following decisions:

• in relation to conscripts with categories "A", "B" and "C", they are subject to conscription in the absence of grounds for granting a deferral or exemption from conscription;
• in relation to conscripts with the category "G" - to grant a deferral from conscription for military service for health reasons;
• in relation to conscripts with category "D" - exempt from conscription for military service;
• in relation to conscripts with the category "E" - exempt from military duty.

The terms of military service in calendar terms are established:

• for conscripts – 12 months;
• for conscripted military officers – 24 months;
• for military personnel undergoing military service under a contract – for the terms specified in the contract of military service.

A fine of 5 MCI is provided for the non-appearance of a citizen who is or is obliged to be on military registration, on call within the specified period without a valid reason.

Currently, the initial military registration of young men is carried out automatically by the information system of the Ministry of Defense immediately after the age of 17, that is, without their personal participation.

At the same time, information about their state of health, such as their state of health, disability, family composition, marital status, children, education level, and others are obtained from the information systems of government agencies.

In the future, when the permanent registration address is changed, the information system automatically changes the status of the military registration.
