Getting married is not only exciting, but also extremely troublesome. Often, young couples who have decided to legitimize their relationship do not know what the application for marriage should look like, what documents must be submitted with him to the registry office, and when to do it. We will answer these and many other questions!
When to apply?
Have you decided to get married and even chose a beautiful and comfortable date? Not so simple. An application to the Civil Registry Office (in other words, a registry office) must be submitted no later than a month before registration! It is worth noting that some Wedding Palaces accept documents a maximum of two months before the celebration, another part - immediately for the whole season.
By the way, if the date you have chosen is not easy (for example, a mirror, Valentine's Day or Peter and Fevronia), you need to be prepared for the fact that you have to stand in line. By the way, there is one more secret: it is possible in advance, before visiting the registry office, to schedule not one day for registration, but two or three. So, if there are no places for one date, you do not have to rush to choose another day.
How to reduce waiting time?
Please note that usually the minimum period from the day you submit an application to the registry office for marriage is a month, but there are exceptions to reduce this time. Among the good reasons for legitimizing relationships in a short time are pregnancy, an urgent business trip. When one of the future spouses is military, a marriage ceremony can be held earlier than in a month. It is worth noting that in any case, documentary evidence is required.
When submitting an application, registry office employees can marry on the same day: in the event of pregnancy or the birth of a child. Perhaps this is when there is a threat to the life of one of the young people.
Required documents
To register the relationship, the future spouses will need two passports, a receipt confirming the payment of the state duty (in 2017 its amount is 350 rubles). If the bride or groom was previously married to other people, additional documents must be presented: this can be a certificate of divorce or (in the case of the death of the husband / wife) a death certificate. Minors will need a local government permission to marry.
You will need an application for marriage, samples of which can be found in the registry office. They usually fill it in place, too.
One for all: how to pay the state fee?
Sometimes future newlyweds make rather stupid mistakes in the preparation process. For example, two receipts are paid. Remember: for one marriage you need to pay one state duty! Details can be found on the official website of the selected registry office or in the institution itself.
Between whom is marriage impossible?
Not every statement can be accepted by the employees of the Wedding Palace. The fact is that there are certain categories of people for whom marriage is prohibited. These include:
- close relatives;
- Citizens in another registered marriage;
- adoptive parents and adopted.
In addition, a relationship cannot be registered if at least one person was declared legally incompetent by a court because of any mental disorder.
Applying remotely
An application for marriage can be submitted even without the personal presence of one of the future spouses. If a person cannot come, he needs to contact a notary public and assure his application.
The choice of registry office
It also happens that the bride and groom do not want to register a marriage in the city where they live. What to do in this case? The legislation allows you to apply to any registry office located in the Russian Federation.
Electronic marriage application
Thanks to technological progress, it is now possible to submit an application not only personally, but also with the help of the World Wide Web. The most convenient service for this is State Services. The portal allows you to forever forget about duty at the Wedding Palace, lists of future spouses hanging on trees, doors and benches near the registry offices. Simply log in to the site. You can book a day 6 months before the selected date.
The advantages of this method are many:
- marriage application can be submitted from almost anywhere in the world, you only need access to the Internet;
- time saving;
- Choose a convenient date and time.
Come to the registry office, of course, still have to. Usually this authority sends in the notifications the time period in which you need to appear for the transfer of documents.
What does a marriage application form look like?
Well, and as a bonus - a form that will have to fill in the registry office. It can not but rejoice that the employees themselves fill it, you just have to verify the data and put signatures.
Solemn or unregistered registration: what is the difference?
Beautiful outfits, witnesses, rings on silk pillows, live music, solemn speeches and many guests - this is how the solemn registration looks like. Everyday casual registration does without these attributes. The bride and groom just come to the office, give passports for stamping them and receive a certificate that the marriage is registered. It takes literally 5-10 minutes.
