From now on, parents who are single-handedly raising a child under 18 can get a deferment in "Reserve+". The process is fully automated, takes up to several hours, and requires no certificates or visits to the TCR.

The "Reserve+" application now includes a deferral for parents raising a child alone, the Ministry of Defense announced on Thursday, UNN reports.
Details
The Ministry of Defense has expanded the list of deferrals in the "Reserve+" application. Now, parents who are raising a child under 18 alone can get a deferral online if the other parent has died or lost parental rights.
What needs to be done
To get a deferral online:
- Submit a request in the "Reserve+" application.
- The system will check for grounds in state registers.
- If confirmed, the deferral is granted automatically, and information about it appears in the electronic military document.
The process, as stated, is fully automated: it takes up to several hours, without certificates or visits to the TCR.
To obtain this type of deferral, the State Register of Civil Status Acts (DRACS) must contain up-to-date information about the child, as well as about the death or loss of parental rights of the other parent. If this data is missing, you must contact any convenient DRACS department with the relevant documents.
