Military official from Vorkuta garrison details process for obtaining a participation certificate in a unique military operation
The Russian Government has issued Decree No. 1354, regulating the process of obtaining certificates for participants in a Special Military Operation. This decree, announced on October 9, 2024, aims to standardise the issuance of these certificates for Russian citizens who have taken part in the operation.
The certificates are intended for both participants and their families, and serve to confirm their participation in the Special Military Operation. They can be obtained through various channels, including Gosuslugi, MFCs, directly from the authority, its territorial body (subdivision), or affiliated organization, either electronically or on paper.
The issuance of these certificates is carried out by the state bodies that sent or deployed citizens to participate in the Special Military Operation. The decree establishes a uniform format for certificates for participants in the Special Military Operation and their families, replacing the non-uniform certificates previously issued.
Applicants have the right to appeal unlawful refusals, delays, or other obstacles in obtaining certificates, including by contacting military prosecutor's offices. It is important to note that the use of these certificates for obtaining social support measures provided in accordance with the Federal Law "On Veterans" is not permitted.
The decree applies to territories in Ukraine, Donetsk People's Republic, Luhansk People's Republic, Zaporozhye Region, and Kherson Region. Starting from November 1, 2024, certificates for participation in the Special Military Operation are issued by authorities, not military unit commanders or military commissariats.
The exact step-by-step details of the process for obtaining these certificates can be found in the text of Decree No. 1354. However, based on common administrative practice for Russian military certificates, the process generally involves the submission of an application, provision of evidence or official records, verification and validation of submitted documents, and the official issuance of the certificate.
Consulting the official Russian Government publication or the official legal text of Decree No. 1354 directly is recommended for precise procedural steps and requirements.
