Learn how to challenge errors in the EDEBO certificate that wrongly deny military deferment due to alleged education sequence violations.
Key Takeaways
- EDEBO certificate errors can wrongly deny military deferment based on education sequence violations.
- Legal education completion requires a diploma; without it, no violation exists.
- Challenging the refusal requires addressing the root cause—errors in the EDEBO certificate.
- Administrative lawsuits are effective if the Ministry refuses to correct records.
- Final success depends on court rulings and actual correction of the EDEBO database.
What the video covers
- The video explains how students can challenge refusals of military deferment caused by errors in the EDEBO certificate regarding education sequence violations.
- EDEBO certificates reflect database interpretations, which can be incorrect and are not final legal decisions.
- A key legal point is that education is only considered obtained when a diploma or official document is received.
- Common issues arise when a student enrolls again after expulsion without a diploma, causing EDEBO to wrongly flag sequence violations.
- The challenge process starts by obtaining a fresh EDEBO certificate and an official explanation from the Ministry of Education.
- Requests for correction must be sent to both the Ministry of Education and the Inforesurs enterprise managing EDEBO.
- If corrections are refused, an administrative lawsuit can be filed to compel the Ministry to update records.
- The court argument hinges on the absence of a diploma meaning no completed education level, thus no sequence violation.
- After a court ruling, it is crucial to ensure the EDEBO database is updated and a corrected certificate is issued before reapplying for deferment.
- The OSN law firm offers full legal support for this process, including filing complaints, lawsuits, and enforcement.

You are a student, you are actually studying, you apply for a deferment, and you get a refusal. And the reason for the refusal is that the EDEBO certificate says you are violating military registration rules. In other words, the database decided that you
Speaker A
are not pursuing education in the correct sequence. And it seems like that's it, you can't fight the system, but no, you can. And many students do exactly that. Very often, the EDEBO system incorrectly determines the correctness of the sequence of
Speaker A
education. And it says you are violating the sequence, even though in fact, under the law and in practice, you are not. And many students regularly challenge these EDEBO certificates and get their deferment.
Speaker A
Now we will talk step-by-step about how this can be done. And briefly, if you are a student, or your brother, son, or any other relative is trying to get a deferment based on their studies, be sure to subscribe to this channel to
Speaker A
have this video on hand, because it might come in handy. You are on the channel of the OSN law firm. My name is Orest. Let's begin. Before rushing to challenge anything, you need to understand one important thing. The
Speaker A
EDEBO certificate is not the law or some decision of the final instance. It is simply how the database interprets your educational history, and it can often be mistaken. Here is the key that solves many of these cases. The Supreme
Speaker A
Court stated clearly in 2025: "An education level is considered obtained only when a person has received a diploma or other document for that education." And now, a completely typical situation. A person was studying for a bachelor's degree but
Speaker A
did not finish. They were expelled in their first or second year. That means they did not receive a diploma. They enroll a second time, apply for a deferment, but the EDEBO certificate says they are violating the sequence because it sees they were pursuing two
Speaker A
bachelor's level educations. And what does judicial practice say about this? The first bachelor's did not legally exist, because in fact, there is no diploma for completing a bachelor's degree. This gap between the base law and judicial practice is what all
Speaker A
challenges are based on. And the most important thing here is that you need to challenge not the refusal to grant a deferment itself. You need to challenge the root cause, namely the error in the EDEBO certificate. Resolve the root
Speaker A
cause, and your deferment will appear. And now let's move on. Challenging blindly makes no sense. First, you need to understand why the database thinks you are violating the sequence of education. To do this, we take two documents. The first is a fresh EDEBO
Speaker A
certificate, where it will be clearly stated that you are violating the sequence of education. And the second is an explanation from the Ministry of Education as to why they believe you are actually violating this sequence.
Speaker A
For this, you write them a request, and they must respond on what basis the system made that decision. That response will show where the error is buried. Incorrectly accounted for previous enrollment, incorrect level, or unrecorded expulsion. Without this
Speaker A
step, you simply won't know exactly what to challenge in court. Once the reason is clear to you, you submit a request to have this record corrected.
Speaker A
And you must address two recipients at once: the Ministry of Education and Science and the system that administers the EDEBO resource, namely the state enterprise Inforesurs. In the request, explain why your sequence is not violated by law and attach documents,
Speaker A
previous diplomas or, conversely, confirmation that there was no diploma, and orders on expulsion and enrollment.
Speaker A
Sometimes, at this stage, you can already receive a clean certificate from EDEBO that will satisfy you. But quite often, the Ministry of Education and Science simply refuses to carry out such a correction. Do not worry at this stage. This is just one of the steps.
Speaker A
And at this point, you already have the specific position of the Ministry of Education and Science as to why they believe you are violating the sequence.
Speaker A
And it is precisely this position that you need to take to court and challenge. A reminder to subscribe, because the most important part is coming up, namely the court. And how to consolidate the result you have obtained. Subscribe to this channel,
Speaker A
because you will want to have these steps when you prepare documents for obtaining a deferment. If the ministry refuses to correct the record, we go to court. This is an administrative lawsuit filed with the district administrative court, in which you ask
Speaker A
to recognize the ministry's actions as unlawful and compel them to enter the correct data into EDEBO. And this is where the very argument we talked about from the beginning regarding the diploma comes into play. You explain that legally you did not finish and did
Speaker A
not obtain an education, therefore, there can be no violation of the sequence. That is why it is important that when you go to court, your position should not be haphazard, but rather clear and understandable. And the last step, which many people miss.
Speaker A
The court decision itself is often not enough. You need to verify whether the decision will actually be executed and whether your EDEBO certificate will change. And only when you receive a clear certificate from EDEBO stating that you are not violating the
Speaker A
educational sequence, only then should you submit a new application for a deferment, and in that case, you will most likely receive it. So, the entire plan in brief. Determine the reason through a certificate and the ministry's explanation. Demand to
Speaker A
correct the record at the Ministry of Education and Inforesurs. If refused, go to court with the argument that without a diploma, the level is not considered obtained. And be sure to control that the databases were actually corrected and a new
Speaker A
certificate was issued. This is a case where everything depends heavily on your position, the accuracy of the wording, and your actual documents.
Speaker A
Because the practice in such situations can indeed be ambiguous, although it is rather positive. Therefore, at the OSN law firm, we take such cases on a turnkey basis. We identify the reason, file complaints and requests to the Ministry of Education and Science and
Speaker A
the information resource, and then we go to court and oversee the enforcement of a positive ruling. Therefore, if you need help with this, our contacts are as always in the description under this video, send us a private message, call
Speaker A
