How to apply to the registry office for marriage registration?

Wedding event is always a special and exciting celebration. Two people who love each other decide to legitimize their relationship by creating a strong and reliable union. But for the holiday to take place, the future newlyweds need to go through a number of formalities, without which it is not officially possible to formalize the relationship. And the main step in this event is the submission of an application to the registry office.

Such a responsible event has its own rules, which must be observed both by the future spouse and by the spouse.

• An adult couple is allowed to register a marriage - both newlyweds must be eighteen years old. The exceptions are sixteen (in some regions fourteen) the age of one of the future spouses.
• The decision must be mutually agreed and voluntary.

The reasons why employees of the Civil Registry Office have the right not to accept the application submitted can be described as follows:

• family relationship between the bride and groom;
• relationship of adoption between the newlyweds;
• marriage due to threat, blackmail and other coercion;
• the incapacity of the future spouses recognized by the court;
• someone with a pair of stamp in the passport;
• state of drunkenness at the newlyweds upon application;
• the minority of someone from the newlyweds (or both).

Previously, the place where the marriage was registered, had to necessarily coincide with the place of registration. Now this condition is canceled - the newlyweds are free to choose any Russian city: from Moscow to the rural hinterland. The registry office does not have the right to refuse to accept documents because of the discrepancy between the place of residence, otherwise the bride and groom can write a complaint and even resolve this issue in court. It is advisable to dispense with the complaint, because the period for its consideration is 5-10 days, but the litigation will last about two months.

In order to apply for registration of marriage, you will need to pay a state duty. In 2018, its amount is equal to 350 rubles (through an electronic application, the state duty will be issued only 245 rubles). To pay it you need only one person from the pair. The procedure can occur in any bank. Thus, in the registry office you need to show a receipt indicating that the state duty was paid. You will also need a number of some documents, which will be discussed below.

• Of course, the application will not be accepted without the passports of the newlyweds. Sometimes it is enough and a military ID, but still it is better to provide an identity document.
• If one of the future spouses (or both) is not yet eighteen years old, then the permission for them to formalize the marriage union must also be confirmed using a document.
• If someone from the future couple has already been married, this should be confirmed by a certificate. The same applies to the situation when one of the newlyweds is a widow or widow. In the case when one of the couple is still not divorced, the conclusion of a new marriage is impossible. It is worth noting that the certificate of dissolution of the previous marriage is not required if it was dissolved in the same registry office.
• It so happens that the bride or groom is a foreign citizen, then you must have a passport, all documents must be translated.

The statement itself looks quite standard and is easy to fill. It is necessary for the spouses to indicate their surname, name, patronymic, place of birth and residence, citizenship, nationality, as well as passport data and information about the dissolution of previous marriages (if any). When an application with documents is checked by an employee of the registry office, it will be possible to book the date of the wedding event.

To do this, there is a specific procedure that must be followed. Some couples think that they will be signed out the day after they fill out the application, and they are surprised at the long wait. It is necessary to take care of such an important moment in advance, otherwise the late submission of the application may cause the collapse of the wedding plans, especially the date of the painting, because the bride and groom usually want to celebrate their triumph on a certain day, symbolic of the two of them. If the date plays a big role in marriage, it is best to apply for painting as soon as possible.

It is important to decide on the Palace of marriage. Immediately it is worth preparing for the queues. Each couple wants to choose the best date for themselves, especially in the warm season - few people will want to get married in the slush with rain or severe frosts. Some newlyweds may even spend the night at the door of the registrar to be first in line and get the coveted date. But such radical actions should not be undertaken - it is better to just think about this issue as soon as possible.

You need to be prepared for the fact that the selected date will be already occupied or on this day the registry office will not work, so the ceremony may not take place. For this reason, you should study the schedule in advance. For example, some conduct ceremonies only from Tuesday to Thursday or on weekends. It is better that the planned date was not one - so more likely to take the desired number. When choosing the day of the future wedding should take into account some of the nuances - they are described below.

It is worth thinking about the time of year. Of course, if the date is scheduled for six months or a year, then it is impossible to predict the weather on a certain day, but still the choice of the month is in many ways a guarantee that nothing will spoil the wedding. For example, knowing in advance that spring brings with it mudflows and showers, you should not be guided by the date of the future celebration in March or April. Usually, the bride and groom want to have a wedding in the summer, although in winter or autumn there are also charms.

Worried about the marriage of a certain number, the newlyweds sometimes forget about the guests. In order for all close people to be close to the bride and groom on that day, you need to choose a date that would be convenient for them. In this case, it is better to separate the painting and celebration. You can register for the union on the chosen date, and organize the official part later, so that all guests can attend this important event. Some couples when choosing the right wedding day may be guided by numerology, astrology, folk omens. Do not forget about the most popular dates, for example, 08.08, 11.11 and others - it is better to take them in advance.

The application procedure involves choosing the type of ceremony. Only four of them, we will talk about them below. You can stay on a simple version.It involves the arrival of the newlyweds in the registry office at the appointed time and day, their painting, obtaining a certificate and stamp in the passport. The process lasts about 10 minutes. As for the costs in this case, the money goes only to pay state duty. Earlier, the witnesses of the bride and groom signed the registry office, but now it is not necessary. Painting is needed only from newlyweds.

The choice of a solemn ceremony assumes that the newlyweds must appear at the registry office for registration on the day off (it takes place on Saturdays). In this case, the ceremony itself is accompanied by music and the work of the photographer. The procedure takes place with the solemn reading of oaths, the exchange of rings and painting. After that, the couple accept greetings from guests. This ceremony continues from half an hour to an hour.

The important point is that not every Wedding Palace allows you to use your own music. Typically, the bride and groom choose one or another classic composition of the proposed options. It is necessary to submit an application in advance, because a lot of couples want to hold such a wedding. The price of such a service today is from 5 thousand rubles. There is a variant of the exit procedure. Usually, the newlyweds choose a place somewhere in nature, for example, a park or a square. Of course, everything is decorated around, invited musicians, there are guests. Registration takes about an hour.

When choosing such a method, the weather plays a decisive role - no one wants to freeze on the street in a downpour and slush. The cost of such a service is not cheap, and not all registry offices are involved in field registration (only 20-30 in Russia). Moscow, for example, is famous for its Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve, where such solemn events are often held. There is such an event today from 25 to 100 thousand rubles.

It includes simple and away registration. First, the newlyweds sign in the registry office without a solemn part, including music and a photographer, and on the day off the bride and groom hold a ceremony in nature, where there are guests. The procedure involves the exchange of rings and oaths. Often the newlyweds prefer just such a wedding option. Not only the registry office is engaged in receiving applications - you can submit an application in the multifunctional center (MFC). They are in every city, and their work schedule - from 8 am to 8 pm - is quite convenient. The duration of the application procedure in this center is from 15 minutes to half an hour.

To correctly fill out an application, you need to follow some of the rules described below. First of all, you need to choose the MFC, take an identity document with you, purchase a special ticket and wait for the moment when the consultant calls. Waiting in many centers brighten up comfortable chairs and watching TV, sometimes you can even find a coffee machine. Some centers offer online recording, but not all. This point should also be clarified in advance.

After the consultant calls the bride and groom, you need to go to the appropriate window to fill out the application. It is necessary to fill it correctly, because it is a document. There will be two columns - for the bride and groom. It is necessary to enter passport data, indicate citizenship with the nationality, the desired date of the wedding, choose a surname. It is worth adding that according to statistics, about 60% of girls take the name of her husband. But this rule is not mandatory - you can leave your last name and add a new one to it. Thus, you get a double surname (for example, Smirnova-Postysheva).

We must not forget that when changing the name with the old passport you can walk no more than a month - during this time you need to change all the documents. Changing the name implies a change of employment record, driver’s license, documents for housing and other events.

• We must not forget about the payment of state duty, which is today 350 rubles.It must be paid in advance - for this you need to come to any bank or pay at one of the terminals of the MFC.
• After the end of the procedure, the MFC consultants will submit an application to the registry office, which will be chosen by the newlyweds, after 2-3 days. After that, the civil registry office workers will contact the future couple to clarify the time of registration or booking a new one.

Usually, the newlyweds submit an application together, but it also happens that someone from a couple takes all the responsibility on themselves. This option is also possible. For example, only a girl can come to the registrar office, because her lover is on a business trip, in service or even in prison. But the statement of the groom in this case must be notarized. He can personally transfer it to his future spouse or use the mail to send. The bride fills her application at the registry office herself. A notary can come to the house if, for example, someone from the couple is sick. No one is immune from force majeure. It so happens that the bride and groom need to postpone the registration of marriage. If the time and day are only booked, then there are no problems with the transfer - you just need to cancel the booking and take another, more convenient number.

If the change in the decision on the date occurred after the registration of the application in the registry office, the transfer is impossible. In this case, only a new application is possible. If the new date is much further than the one that was before, then you can write a new statement no earlier than two months before the celebration. Nevertheless, it is worth taking the ultimate approval of the marriage date with maximum responsibility, because its transfer is impossible in most cases, especially with regard to earlier periods. Exceptions are only some cases, for example, pregnancy or serious illness.

A modern and convenient way to submit an application - remotely, using the website of public services. Thus, the bride and groom will not need to stand in line at the registry office, while you can more productively determine the date of the future wedding. Step by step instructions look like described below.

• First of all, you need to log on to the site www.gosuslugi.ru and register. How to do this can be found on the site itself, following the prompts.
• After registration, you need to fill in the fields with passport data and SNILS.
• The application itself is in the “Family Children” tab. To do this, go to the "catalog of services" and there click on the "registration of marriage."
• In the section "reception of documents" it is necessary to fill in each application column by points. But the certificate itself in electronic form is not issued - to obtain it you need to come to the registry office.
• It is also important to choose a registrar, where the bride and groom are planning to register a union, and book the desired date and time. It is better to apply in advance so that there are more places.
• In conclusion, you should click on the receipt of the service and wait approximately 24 hours to approve the application. The result will be in your personal account, after which you need to come to the registry office with all the necessary documents.

Advantages of this method:

• You can apply not only from another city, but also from another country;
• no need to adapt to the working time of the registrar - on the site you can apply at any convenient time;
• when booking, you can not be limited to one date, but just in case book two at once;
• data processing takes a short time;
• in order to submit documents to the civil registry office after approval of the electronic application, there is no need to stand in line, because the date with a time of arrival will be clearly defined in advance.

This method also has disadvantages:

• if the bride and groom do not have experience with such forms, it will be difficult for them to avoid mistakes when filling out the application, and the registrars will not be able to help in this case;
• if the newlyweds do not come to the registrar office on the day appointed by them after considering the remote filing of papers, the application will be considered canceled;
• not all registry offices have the technical capabilities to carry out the procedure of remote submission of applications, so in some cases the bride and groom will have to fill out an application in person.

Terms of consideration. Article 11 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation states that a marriage is concluded 30 days after the submission of the application. This period is considered optimal for future spouses to weigh this crucial decision once more. It also happens that the bride and groom take away the statement, suddenly changing his mind to sign. The law allows civilian registry offices for one reason or another to increase to two months.

Sometimes there are situations when the waiting time for marriage registration is reduced. But for an urgent wedding, the couple must have good reasons, which will be discussed below.

• The painting can take place earlier than 30 days, during the pregnancy of the bride or already with a child. A pregnant girl should have a confirming certificate from a gynecologist with a seal. But it is necessary to understand that if the term of birth is not close, then the employees of the registry office may refuse to register urgently, and it will take a month to wait.
• If someone from the couple is incurably ill, then this is a serious reason for reducing the waiting time for registration.
• Emergency service in the army is also considered a good reason (the same applies to the long trip of the groom or bride).

When submitting documents to the registry office, the application indicates the place of residence and registration. But according to the law, marriage registration is possible without a residence permit - only a passport will be enough, because the lack of information about the place of residence does not mean that the document is invalid. In a statement, the groom or bride will need to indicate this point (there is no permanent place of residence). Employees of the registry office do not have the right to refuse registration for this reason, otherwise the couple may decide this issue in court.

Special cases are foreigners. You must have a passport, passport with a transfer and confirmation of legal residence in the country (visa, residence permit or temporary residence permit). Applying online for marriage with a foreigner will not succeed - you need to come to the registrar to personally transfer all the necessary documents. And it is worth knowing in advance in which registry offices such an alliance is drawn up.

It is also important to understand that each country has its own nuances and laws of marriage. For example, in Russia, the minimum age for marriage registration is 18 (sometimes 16) years. And German young men have the right to marry only at 21, or the foreign groom already has an official wife in another country where polygamy is officially allowed. Then the registrar is entitled to refuse marriage with a girl from Russia.

There are situations when, for one reason or another, the bride and groom change their mind to get married, then the application can be collected, and this can be done both together and alone. Until the marriage is registered, the man and the woman are not obliged to comply with any legal obligations. Some nuances are described below. If the newlyweds filed an application in the registry office, then you need to come back there, taking with them a passport.You will need to write a statement, the reason for the refusal is indicated at the discretion (you can not write it). But it is worth remembering that the state registry office does not return to the state duty on refusal of registration.

If the bride and groom filed an electronic application due to the fact that the registry office was not in their hometown, then there it is enough just to call to notify the employees of their decision. But many failed spouses choose another option - just do not appear in the registry office without warning. Administrative responsibility for this is not provided. Thus, you can always pick up a statement. Moreover, after this the failed spouses have the right to file it again with one another or with other people. As for filing a divorce, it is also important to know all the nuances and general rules, which will be discussed below.

• The application must specify the passport data, place of residence. You can not do without the details of the marriage registration certificate. After drawing up the text of the statement, the spouses must sign and indicate the date.
• The civil registry office breeds people by their general consent and in the absence of children under the age of eighteen. Such applications are filed by both spouses.
• If there are minor children in marriage, one of the spouses is incapacitated or is in custody for more than 3 years, then only one person from a couple can apply for divorce.
• A court can divorce a husband with a wife - then it is enough to appear at the registry office to submit an application to one of the spouses.

Thus, filing a petition for divorce includes the specified documents and a receipt for payment of state duty. Today, it is eight hundred rubles (the total amount for both spouses). Divorce in court is accompanied by a conclusion. In general, the dissolution of the marriage occurs thirty days after the filing of the application. This time is needed to think about a solution. During such a period, the application may be withdrawn.
