The defence resources agency must assess your state of health before entering into conscript or alternative service. The assessment must be repeated if your state of health has changed, for example, as a result of serious illness. Read about the assessment of state of health. The assessment is based on the health requirements of a person liable to mandatory duty to serve in the Defence Forces.

Before the assessment of your state of health, make sure that:

• your identity document has not expired.;
• your correct bank account number is on file in the Defence Forces Service web interface and that you have checked and if necessary updated your contact details there.;
• you have completed the health declaration in the section labelled “Tervisetõendid ja -deklaratsioonid” (Health certificates and declarations);
• Upon arriving at the evaluation, you have the option of logging into the Defence Forces Service web interface (you are a Smart-ID or Mobile-ID user or the PIN1 for your ID card) to read through documents on the spot;
• You can bring with you documents that describe your health status if you have prohibited use of e-health data or if significant health data are not shown in the health portal (check your data);
• You have not planned other important obligations or procedures for that day, because the health evaluation and other necessary procedures take time.

The assessment of state of health involves an assessment of your mental and physical health. Further decisions are made based on the results.

During the assessment:

• you will be provided information and explanations regarding the assessment and conscript service;
• your personal data will be reviewed;
• your state of health will be assessed to determine whether you meet the health requirements;
• if you are fit for conscript service and there are no exempting conditions, a decision will be made on calling you into conscript service and the time of service;
• you will be able to ask questions, express your wishes and preferences regarding place of service, etc.;

if you need medical attention, your service will be postponed;

if your state of health does not permit you to enter into conscript service in the future, you will be assigned to reserve. You will be compensated for going through the assessment to the required extent.

It is normal for the medical examination to take place during your deferment. If you meet the health requirements, you will be called into conscript service after the deferment expires.

The result of your assessment may be one of the following:

• is in compliance with the health requirements
• is in temporary noncompliance with the health requirements
• is in noncompliance with the health requirements

If your state of health changes, notify the defence resources agency immediately and request a new assessment of your state of health. The easiest way to notify the agency of changes in your state of health is through the Defence Forces Service web interface. Include your preferred location of the assessment in the notice.

If you have additional questions during the assessment, ask our consultant present at the medical examination. If you have questions later, you can find the name of your consultant at Defence Forces Service web interface. You can also submit your questions via e-mailor phone.
