Almost all people aspire to marriage. The first marriage, preferably and the only one, is very exciting - the selection of the place of celebration, dresses, the list of guests and much more. Preparation is always troublesome and often expensive. But even if you do not make a magnificent celebration, in any case you will have to spend a certain amount. What needs to be paid accurately is the state duty. It is worth considering in more detail all the options.
Amount of state duty
The state duty for marriage registration from year to year is practically unchanged. Its price is low, so if it doesn’t go beyond the wedding ceremony itself, meaning a walk, a banquet, etc., then the wedding will cost you 350 rubles. It is this amount that needs to be paid in the current year in order for the marriage to be registered. Hurry to pay it before applying. And also your task is to choose a registry office, in which the marriage itself will be concluded. It is necessary to stand in line at the office of records to select the day and time of painting. Up to this point, it is already worth paying the fee.
In addition to an independent visit to the registry office, you can apply in several more ways. The function has been operating not so long ago, but has already received wide recognition among future newlyweds - either apply through the nearest MFC, or through the website of the State Service. In time, this, of course, will be faster. But there is a small minus - aesthetic. When applying to the registry office itself, young people are given a beautiful invitation letter with a time and place of marriage. When registering through other systems, such a beautiful paper will not be.
Running a little ahead, it is worth noting that If you pay the fee through the StateService website, you can save 30%. That is, paying the amount for one person, the savings will be 105 rubles. Therefore, the savings for two - 210 rubles. In this context, the discount is not bad.
Usually, no less than a month and no more than two and a half are given for wedding preparations. If your planned date is set during this period, then you can safely submit an application. In any case, they will not conclude a marriage earlier than in a month. And no matter what the application was submitted through, in any case you can sign it only at the registry office or in the presence of the registry office employees. There are a number of good reasons that are prescribed by law for registering a marriage earlier than the due date. With rare exceptions, marriage can be registered even on the same day. Some of the reasons include the pregnancy of the bride, a serious illness of one of the spouses, or the birth of a child.
Interesting! About 30 years ago, when applying, and then it was possible to do this only through the registry office, they gave a gift. All young people received a generous set consisting of champagne, caviar, sausage and much more. It was almost impossible to get on store shelves, but it was a pleasant addition from the state to get such an assortment.
Documents for marriage
The solemn ceremony of marriage requires the necessary documents. It is not difficult to collect them, but still, when submitting, you need to be fully equipped. The list of documents is as follows:
- passport or any other document proving your identity;
- written agreement of both marriages about their intention to marry (written in the registry office);
- if you were previously married, a divorce certificate will be required;
- if the marriage is between minor citizens, permission is required from the parents or guardians;
- state duty payment receipt.
The necessary documentation is easy to collect. It is worth considering in more detail the last paragraph of the list of documents - payment of state duty, size and so on.
Where and when to pay?
First, consider the point where and how to pay. At the registry office you are given a form for payment. After the form, you can pay at the terminal located directly in the registry office. True, this service is currently possible only in large cities and main offices of the registry office. In addition to the payment terminal in the registry office, the fee can be paid at any branch of Sberbank. It is not difficult to do this by following the prompts on the screen, or take the help of a consultant. If the turn to the registry office and the bank, again, does not appeal to you, then the receipt can be downloaded, and then pay with an online card. You will be issued a check, it will need to be printed.
It is worth considering in more detail how to pay. In the receipt issued or downloaded, you fill out all the required details. If you receive the receipt on hand, then most likely the details will already be driven by the registry office and you will only have to correctly retype them. In the Sberbank-online application, you can also easily and simply pay. Money will leave the card. If you are the owner of an electronic wallet, then payment is also made through it. To do this, select "Payment by details". After entering the details, the password should come to the phone, your task will be to enter it.
The fee must be paid before submitting the application and documents to the registry office. Documents simply will not be accepted without a fee, you will have to urgently run away and make a transfer of funds by details or do it in a way that is more convenient at this moment. Please note that some payment methods will incur a fee. Its size is always different and is indicated in the payment system. But it should not exceed 30 rubles.
Possible errors when transferring money
Unfortunately, there is a chance to make some kind of mistake when paying the state fee. If you enter the wrong number, then the money goes to the wrong account.Returning them is rather dreary. A statement is written in which the situation is described, then the bank gives the term for the return. Often, after such a payment, payers simply do not contact this procedure. But here we are talking about the bank.
If payment was made through another terminal or State Services, then the algorithms are different. Of course, you need to write a statement, call the authorities at the indicated numbers on the checks, prove that the transfer was intended for other details. The duration of the state duty is three years. If for some reason you made the payment, but the application was not submitted, then save the check and within three years feel free to appeal to them.
Errors include the amount of payment. If you enter a number at least a ruble less than you should, then your receipt will be considered invalid. We'll have to go and pay the ruble, repeating again the procedure for introducing details and other teams. If the payment is higher, then this is no longer scary. Receipts will be accepted, but then you will have to return the money in the ways described above.
And, of course, a gross mistake is to forget the check. The check is a guarantee that the fee is paid, and you can apply. You must attach it to the receipt, and then give it to the registry office. Otherwise, they will not know that you actually paid the state fee. If, after payment through the terminal, he did not give you a check for some reason, you should definitely contact a specialist. If you didn’t pay through the bank, then you must print the check and attach it to the printed receipt.
The state duty must be drawn up for future newlyweds. If someone else pays for it for you, then it should enter your data. If the data is an outsider, then it will not be possible to return the money for paying the state duty, and you will have to make the payment on a new one. In principle, there should be no other payment errors. Carefully follow the entered values to avoid unnecessary headaches with applications and other documents for the return of personal funds. The state duty of both young people passes by one receipt. This is necessary, otherwise the employees of the selected registry office will not accept the documents, again they will have to go through the unpleasant procedure of return and overpayment.
State duty for beneficiaries
You need to understand what the state duty is paid for. Young people pay for the process of paperwork, as well as for their future marriage certificate. But there is a category of citizens that makes less payment. The state duty for a person is 350 rubles, that is, both newlyweds pay 700 rubles. Payment of preferential categories of citizens is somewhat different. The following persons fall into this category:
- veterans of World War II;
- poor categories of citizens;
- Knights of the Order of Glory;
- Heroes of the Russian Federation and the USSR.
Confirm your position with documents corresponding to your status. You will be able to understand what the cost of your state duty will be if you contact the social security authorities after receiving a relevant certificate there. Social workers calculate your total income, make calculations based on some factors. Payment of a common duty, not preferential, is the same throughout Russia. There is no difference in which city the couple live. The amount of 350 rubles is unchanged.
Some nuances
One can exempt oneself from paying state duty only by resorting to the services of a court. The reason is a serious illness of one of the spouses, the absence of any income or financial difficulties. And there is also an important point - in case of serious illness and when one of the future newlyweds is in the hospital, the registry office employee is obliged to come for free at the appointed time, to the appointed place, having all the necessary documents and attributes with him, and paint the spouses according to all the canons. Inquiries from a medical institution are provided in advance upon application.When you have paid the state fee and submitted all the documents, no matter what way, relax. The main thing is neither guests, nor duties, nor outfits, but your love.
