In particular now consider the question  about  the method of delivery draft notice from the military enlistment office and responsibility for avoiding arrival to such office in the case of its receipt.

Not exist  such legislative definition like "draft notice from the military enlistment office “, so will use the definition from a legal dictionary, respectively, the draft notice (notification)  -it’s  in  written form notification from the official state body to come in special place and time. It is addressed to a particular person, indicating the exact address of the institution that is, time and place where necessary to appear, contains a warning about the consequences of failure to appear.

How should be notified  the person with such draft notice from the military enlistment office? This question is answered in paragraph 64 of  "Regulation of preparation and carrying out recruitment of Ukrainian citizens to military service " (Regulation):  alert of citizens about, if necessary to come to military service is doing according to notification in written form  through the military district commissioners, through housing maintenance organizations,  town”s and city”s councils  (if there are no military commissioners in such towns or cities),  heads of enterprises, institutions, organizations, educational institutions.   So, not allowed to notice about this  by telephone or by email.  Also  according to  § 68 of the above Regulation - in the personal affairs of recruits should be stored with the signature part of draft notice (notification) that he was warned about the day and time of appearance in the district military commissariat. So, such  draft notice (notification) also must  be delivered personally to recruit.

The main difference between the method of delivery of the draft notice (notification)  and, for example, the notification into court -  it must be presented personally to recruit.

For ignoring the draft notice (notification) and failure to appear in the recruitment office  (in the case of recieving such draft notice (notification))     exist administrative and criminal liability.
