1) Publication of Results: What to Do Immediately

• Check the official publication order and keep a copy (both digital and paper).
• Read your summons carefully: note dates, location, and required documents (ID card, diplomas, photos, birth certificate, criminal record, bank details, etc.).
• Anticipate the medical check-up: standard fitness exams, vaccination card, and recent test results if requested.

💡 Good to know: Customs medical tests are generally less restrictive than those for some other uniformed services (e.g., Police, Army, etc…). Persons living with disabilities may be admitted under applicable legal provisions.
