As we read in the regulation of the Ministry of National Defense, this year’s military qualification will last from February 1 to April 30.
The qualification committee examines whether the person who appears before it can perform active military service. For this purpose, it assesses the candidate’s physical and mental fitness. A person who successfully passes such tests receives a military booklet and is entered into the military records. He may also be assigned to a selected form of universal duty to defend the Republic of Poland.
Who is obliged to appear before a military commission?
The obligation to appear before the commission applies to men born in 2005, as well as those born between 2000 and 2004, but who do not have a specific category of fitness for active military service – we read further.
The regulation also covers those who in the years 2022-2023 were recognized by district medical commissions as temporarily unfit for military service, persons with an unregulated relationship to military service until the end of the calendar year in which they turn 60 years of age and persons who are over 18 years of age. years of age and volunteered for the qualifications.
In addition, women born between 1997 and 2005 who have qualifications useful for military service and who have not yet taken part in military qualifications, as well as women studying to obtain these qualifications, who during the school or academic year 2023/2024 complete studies in fields or complete education in specific professions related to the defense of the homeland (will be determined in the law)”.

What are the penalties for failing to appear before a military commission?
Let’s be careful, because failure to appear at a meeting with the medical committee without a justification for the absence means serious consequences. The police may take them before the commission, and failure to attend may also result in a fine.
A person with military qualifications who cannot appear before the commission on the scheduled date must inform the commune head, mayor or city president of this fact in advance, and must also present a document confirming the reasons for failure to appear.
In such cases of justified absence, a different date than that specified in the summons is set for appearing before the committee.
According to estimates, approximately 250,000 will appear before the committees of the Military Supplemental Command. people.
