“A draft notice sent by mail is now officially considered delivered,” – said an MP

A draft notice sent by mail is now officially considered delivered.

This was announced by MP Oleksandr Fedienko.

According to him, previously the mailing of draft notices was only an auxiliary mechanism, which allowed lawyers to prove in court that a person had not received the letter.

The Cabinet of Ministers’ resolution granting Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers (TCCs) the right to print draft notices eliminates the legal gray area and establishes that a notice sent by mail constitutes official delivery, he added.

It should be recalled that the rule stating that a draft notice is considered delivered once it has been sent came into effect after the adoption of the law on strengthening mobilization in May 2024.

The Volyn TCC was the first to announce the introduction of this practice.

“Yes, reservists and those liable for military service are being sent draft notices to update their military registration data by registered mail, either to the address the individual provided to the territorial center or to their last registered place of residence. I want to emphasize that such a notice will be considered properly delivered even if, for some reason, the addressee could not receive it,” said agency spokesperson Ulyana Kravchuk in comments to Volyn News Service.

As media previously reported, Ukraine is set to accelerate the printing of draft notices, and consequently their distribution to those subject to military service. The Cabinet of Ministers adopted resolution No. 1062, which authorizes regional and Kyiv city TCCs to print draft notices.
