Is it possible to apply for registration of marriage in the registry office to one of the newlyweds?

Since childhood, in all romantic films, we have seen that marriage is a necessary and natural continuation of a relationship. And every girl dreams, hand in hand, with her beloved to come to the registry office and apply. But sometimes there are situations when it is impossible.

In order for your union to be officially registered and to prepare for a wedding, you need to submit documents to the registry office. Happy couple must bring a certain set of documents.

• Marriage Statement. It can be filled directly in the institution. Also, thanks to a century of technology, the sample can be found in the public domain on the Internet. It can be downloaded and completed at home. But do not rush to put a date at the end of the document - it must correspond to the day of arrival at the registrar office to apply.
• Identity card of each of the applicants. Do not forget to verify your passports for reality. And replace them on time if necessary.
• Paid state duty. Now its amount is 350 rubles.

This is a standard package, but there are additional documents.

• If you are not the first time in marriage, you must bring documents confirming the end of the previous relationship. For example, a divorce certificate or a spouse’s death certificate.
• In the case when one of the future spouses has not reached the age of majority, the registrar officer will require permission to enter into a union.

However, there are restrictions that do not allow entering into a marriage union.

• You will be denied if you are close relatives.
• The union between the adopter and the adopted is also impossible.
• If you are still in a different marriage, then before entering into a new one you will have to part with the past and divorce.
• The reason for the refusal may be the incapacity of one of the applicants. Disability can be associated not only with mental health, but also with age. Full legal capacity at which you can marry / marry, comes with 18 years. In special cases, if the citizen has not reached the age of majority, a permit from the local government will be required.

If your desire to conclude an alliance is voluntary and there are no restrictions, then you can safely apply for registration of marriage in the registry office.

But, unfortunately, not always young people have the opportunity to be together at this crucial moment for them. For one of the spouses not to be present when submitting the application, a good reason is needed. These are:

• severe illness of one of the newlyweds, in which he is unable to come to the registry office on his own;
• presence of the applicant outside the country or on a long trip;
• the future spouse is in prison;
• your spouse is a citizen of another state and is in their homeland.

In these cases, there is a special procedure for applying for registration of marriage. But if you just come alone and submit the usual package of documents, no one will accept it from you. Each person entering into a marriage must complete their own part of the application.The peculiarity of this form is that the fields for the bride and the bride are on the same sheet.

If the bride submits an application without the personal presence of the groom, then his part of the application will have to be notarized. It is problematic to summon a notary to prison, therefore the head of the colony can execute his powers. Newlyweds abroad can be assured of the form at the consulate of his country. Such documents have the same legal force as certified by a notary.

The procedure of notarization by the notary is detailed in the federal law “On civil status acts”. First you need to fill out a separate application, but the signature and date do not need to be put. Then directly at the notary you put the date and signature. After your signature has been submitted and the application has been verified by a notary, the official (notary or consul, if the procedure takes place abroad) certifies the signature. Make sure that the dates on the seal and on your application match, otherwise the document will be considered invalid and you will have to go through all the procedures again, and this will take much longer.

Then you go to the registry office with a notary certified form and fill out your part there in the presence of the institution’s employee. It should be carefully and legibly fill out an application. All data must clearly coincide with the data in the passport. If an employee finds an error, the form may not be accepted.

To submit an application through the multifunctional center, you will also have to go through the procedure of document certification. But a significant plus of the MFC is that these centers are within walking distance and are located in each district.

And even if there is no time or opportunity to go to a notary, there is a solution - to use the website of state services. This portal was created specifically for the convenience of citizens. Through it, you can apply for registration of marriage, replacement of a passport, obtaining a driver's license or even register with a doctor. But here there are some peculiarities.

First, each of the future spouses must have a valid account on this site. If it is not available, you will first have to register and then contact the MFC for identification. After that, you will be available to the full range of services.

Secondly, the system will require copies of passports. Scan your passport at home or in a special copy center.

Thirdly, each spouse fills out a joint application in his personal account. But be careful: no more than 24 hours should pass from the moment you start filling out the form, otherwise you will have to fill it in again.

And the last - it is necessary, as with the usual filing, to pay the state duty. The amount of state duty for electronic filing is 245 rubles.

The option of filing through state services has some advantages.

• Remote submission of the application allows you to complete all the procedures while at home.
• Ability to fill in the form for two. To do this, it is enough to know the passport data of the second applicant and his login and password to the portal. In addition, your future spouse or spouse can fill out an application himself, being in another place, just having access to the Internet.
• The state duty for electronic filing is 30% cheaper.

But despite all the advantages of such a decision, you still have to go to the registry office to pick up the certificate of state registration of marriage. But you will do it in a festive atmosphere or just sign it, you decide.

There are a couple of points that need to be considered so that your holiday does not turn into force majeure.

You will not be signed immediately, as soon as you submit an application. This will be possible only in 30 days. Therefore, select the marriage date in advance.

This period may be reduced if serious grounds arise. For example, pregnancy, childbirth, danger to life and health, the upcoming long-term business trip.In this case, your registration can be postponed to an earlier date.

If one of the future spouses is seriously ill or unable to attend the marriage registration due to being in prison, the registrar officer must arrive at the hospital or jail and hold the marriage ceremony there.

Marriage is a voluntary union of two adults. Distance and other causes can not prevent the connection of loving hearts. Happy family life to you!
