How much do they submit an application to the registry office? How to apply to the registry office through the "State Services"?

The first step to the wedding is usually taken by young people, they offer their chosen one a hand and a heart in the hope of hearing the cherished "yes." And now this stage has been passed, the young couple is happy and content. A couple would also think about organizing a gala event and how and where to apply for marriage registration. And the first question that needs to be answered is: “How much do they submit an application to the registry office?”

Choose a place

First of all, you need to choose a place. As a rule, this is the registry office or the Wedding Palace. How do they differ from each other? A registry office is an organization that is engaged in the registration of acts of civil status. Through this body of state power passes information on all deceased, born, adopted or married. The registry offices have a ceremonial hall for ceremonies, sometimes several halls, but at the same time people come here on completely different issues.

The Wedding Palace is a special place for registering a marriage in a festive atmosphere. Everything in such a building is intended only for a holiday, and the interior here is more beautiful and solemn.

There is a third option - exit registration, that is, in fact, this solemn ceremony will be held in a place convenient for the newlyweds. However, there are several nuances. Firstly, such an event is not cheap. The estimated cost is 30-40 thousand rubles, and for this money the client receives a minimum of services: a receptionist, a wedding arch, a receptionist's table, a track and 3-4 musicians with an hour-long performance. But you have to pay for the rest of the design, for the place. Secondly, exit registration is just a staging. It has no legal force with rare exceptions, for example, in St. Petersburg there is an exit registration for several memorable places of the city. But in most cases, the newlyweds need to first register at the registry office, and then arrange a beautiful performance for relatives and friends. Or vice versa, at first a ceremony, and then not a solemn registration.

the date

After you have chosen a place, you need to determine the date. This is not such a simple question as it may seem. Some prefer only interesting combinations, for example 07/07/07, 07/14/14, 08/08/08, or significant dates only for them (the day they met, the first kiss, and others).

Then you need to find out how much they submit an application to the registry office. Previously, it was submitted exactly two months before registration, and in most registry offices of the country this rule still applies. But, by law, you can apply no later than a month. And some registry offices begin accepting applications three months before the expected date. And it is precisely for this period that it is best to be guided, since with a large number of people wanting to marry a young couple, there may not be a “window” on the selected day.

How and where to apply

Where to apply to the registry office? It must be submitted at any registry office or wedding palace in the country. The presence of a residence permit for citizens of the Russian Federation is not a prerequisite (except for cities with mandatory temporary registration). But if one of the newlyweds is a citizen of another state, then he needs to provide evidence of the legality of his stay in Russia.

Before contacting you must find out the opening hours of this public authority, as well as find out how much they submit an application to the registry office here. Sometimes employees receive documents immediately for the whole season, and this point needs to be taken into account.

Then the young couple needs to come and fill out special forms, as well as submit all the necessary documents. You need to come together, but if one of the future newlyweds cannot come, then the second can take for him a form to fill out at home. True, such a document must be certified by a notary. But such a number will not work at registration, both parties must be present at the wedding, and each person must independently agree to marry.

Documentation

Submission of the application to the registry office is accompanied by the transfer of all necessary documents to confirm the legality of this step:

• passports
• receipts confirming payment of state duty;
• People who have previously been married must provide a death certificate for their spouse or divorce certificate.

The documents for the application to the registry office are the same for foreigners, but the passport and the certificate of divorce (death of the spouse) must be confirmed by a notarized translation. Additionally, you must provide a visa (permission to stay in the Russian Federation) and a certificate of valid marital status. Citizens of the CIS can marry citizens of Russia in any registry office of the country. Citizens from far abroad are only in several registry offices of the country, in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

How to apply to the registry office "online"

Sometimes the newlyweds choose one date, and then several months try to get on the record for the cherished date. This is very inconvenient, because on the "good" days of the week (Friday, Saturday) in the warm season there are always many who wish. And in some cities you can see a little sad picture when on the day of "X" the queue begins to take up from 4-5 in the morning, and sometimes in the evening.

Fortunately, today it has become possible to file an application with the Civil Registry Office through the State Services. This is done very simply.

1. Register on the portal. For those who at least once registered on any site, the procedure will be understandable. The only difference is that the activation code can be obtained only through mail or at the Rostelecom point.
2. Choose a location and an appropriate service.
3. Enter all the information about the bride and groom. It must be reliable.
4. Select the date and time of registration. A few nuances: it is necessary to double-check whether the registry office has been selected, and also whether the selected date and time falls on a weekend or lunch break. Such an application will take place on the portal, but the young couple will be refused at the registry office.
   
5. Through "State services" you can easily and quickly apply to the registry office. The documents required for the marriage, however, will need to be brought on their own, in about 2-2.5 months. And at the same time confirm the statement.

So, through the Gosuslug portal, you can book a wedding date no earlier than 5.5, and no later than 2.5 months. An electronic application is a preliminary step, and the application will still have to be submitted in person.

Surname

Upon marriage, the newlyweds need to decide what surname the new unit of society will bear. You can take the name of the wife, husband or combine them, as well as remain with each of their own. However, at the birth of the child this question will arise again, and if the baby and one of the parents have different surnames, then others may have questions. It will not be easy for the child at school, where he will have to make excuses that, in fact, mom and dad love each other and live together, but for some reason they do not want to be called the same.

The only situation where unwillingness to change a passport is justified is the fame of the spouse, when the surname is a kind of brand or trademark.

How to speed up registration

Sometimes the circumstances are such that the marriage needs to be registered as soon as possible. So, how much do they submit an application to the registry office in unusual situations and how to speed up registration?

A marriage may be registered earlier than the statutory monthly delay in the following circumstances:

• pregnancy;
• birth of a child;
• threat to the life of one of the spouses;
• fast departure on a long business trip;
• other reasons.

The decision to reduce the term is made by the head of the registry office, and in special circumstances the couple is registered directly on the day of the application.

Changing the date

If the record is preliminary, and in fact the application has not yet been filed, then you can transfer the date to any free number.

If all the formalities are passed, then you need a good reason to postpone the registration date. For example, a disease of one of the newlyweds. If there is such a reason, you can ask to register the marriage at home or in the hospital or postpone the date, but not more than a month.

Registration denial

A young couple may be refused registration for the following reasons:

1. If one of the parties is already married.
2. If the bride and groom are closely related (for medical reasons).
3. Marriage between adoptive parents and adopted children is prohibited (for moral reasons).
4. If one of the parties is recognized as legally incompetent (before marriage).
5. If at least one of the parties is at the time of registration in a state of drug or alcohol intoxication.
6. If the marriage is fictitious, that is, there is no desire at least one of the parties to create a family.

These are the main causes of failure. If a young couple believes that they were refused unlawfully, then such a decision can be appealed in court.

It is very simple to say “we want to submit an application to the registry office” and it is much more difficult to make the wedding date satisfy everyone: a young couple, parents on both sides, and numerous guests. With the advent of a convenient Internet service on the State Services portal, this is much easier to do, which means half the work has already been done. Now it remains to plan a bright and memorable celebration, but this is a completely different story.
