How many days after submitting an application to the registrar register a couple?
For two loving hearts, there comes a moment when they decide to legitimize their relationship. Of course, this is an important and exciting event in life that you want to make unforgettable. A couple of questions arise on the way to marriage. And the first of them - how long does it take to file applications with the registry office? In this article we will try to answer this and other important questions.
Application deadlines
The most important life decision has been made, the moment of preparation for the celebration comes. First you need to decide on the time, number and venue of the wedding ceremony. The official part of the holiday will be held in the district registry office or in the wedding palace. In order for everything to go according to plan, you need to know how long before you set a date to submit an application to the registry office.
In Russia, an application for registration of marriage can be submitted in three different ways:
- in person, to the registry office of your choice or the wedding palace;
- through the Internet service "State Services";
- applying to the multifunctional center (not available in all regions of the Russian Federation).
Depending on the chosen way of submitting the application, the time for its consideration will also vary. When you come to the registry office or the wedding palace yourself, the application is accepted no later than 1 month before the selected date and no earlier than 2 months. To do this, you need to have several documents with you:
- identity document (passport);
- divorce certificate (if any);
- paid state duty receipt;
- duly executed statement;
- if there are special reasons for marriage (pregnancy, childbirth, illness of the bride or groom), they must be documented.
If you yourself cannot be present at the registry office when submitting an application, then a notarized application is allowed. It must be framed by the spouses. Spouses also face the question of changing their last name. Decide in advance what surname your family will have so that in the registry office you have no disputes or disagreements.
So, the application is submitted 1 month before the wedding date. This period is conditional, for example, if you applied on the 20th of this month, they will sign you after the 20th of the next. Please note that there are seasonal workloads and days that are most preferable (weekends, religious holidays), when the number of people who want to start a family exceeds the capabilities of the registry offices. There is a reservation system for the date and time of the wedding ceremony for more than six months. Specify more accurate information about such an opportunity in the regional offices of the registry office.
When submitting your application through a public service, you need a personal account on this portal. You must select the category "Family and children - creating a family - receiving online services." Fill out the application form for the proposed sample and send. With a similar filing, the spouses fill out an application each in their personal account. It must be borne in mind that with this form of application, the duration of its consideration will be two and a half months.
In the future, your direct presence may be required, then the registry office employees will contact you by phone. This type of filing has become the most popular among young people. When the application is registered online, you will not be in tedious queues and you can fill out forms at any time convenient for you.
When contacting the MFC, you also fill out a standard application. It is necessary to submit it earlier than one month, because the center (MFC) only accepts documents. Then the whole package of documents that you submitted is transmitted to the registry office, where it is executed and verified for authenticity.
How is the verification of documents?
Now we will dwell in more detail on the issue of checking documents. According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation, an official union may include:
- persons who have reached the age of majority (over 16 years old for exceptional circumstances and only with the permission of the authorities and parents);
- capable people;
- unmarried citizens;
- there should not be consanguinity and adoptive-adoptive relations.
If underage children wish to enter into official relations, written permission from their parents (guardians) and from local authorities is required.
The time allotted by law to the newlyweds is not only given to affirm their desire to marry. All month, the registry office employees check all the documents you submitted. They certify that you are competent and fully understand the responsibility of your actions and actions. Check if one of the spouses has an unmarried marriage. Be sure to establish the lack of family ties in the marriage.
There is a possibility that the registry office employees will offer a longer waiting period. This may be due to a large number of past marriages in one of the newlyweds or to seasonal workloads (summer, late spring). In any case, no more than 2 months may elapse from the moment of filing the application to the wedding ceremony. This period is established by law as the maximum possible for waiting for the registration of marriage.
The list of documents that need to be submitted to the registry office employees includes:
- a statement, filled in on the model from the bride and groom of a voluntary desire to register their relationship;
- receipt of payment of duty for public services (approximately 350 rubles);
- if the bride or groom was previously married, then a certificate of divorce or death of the former spouse is required.
The authenticity of the submitted documents is to be checked by the registry office employees within a month. A refusal to hold a marriage ceremony is also possible if an incomplete package of documents is submitted, as well as if one of the future spouses does not appear at the ceremony. You will also be refused if one of the spouses has an unmarried marriage or if the court finds the bride or groom incompetent.
Special conditions for honeymooners
The minimum time to consider your application is a month. In reality, this period can be reduced and increased. You have to wait longer if the newlyweds want to hold the ceremony on a specific day that is significant for them. There are good reasons to reduce waiting times. Let's look at what reasons are considered good enough not to wait one month.
Article 11 of the family law of the Russian Federation prescribes special conditions when the painting of a young couple can occur immediately after submitting the application. In this situation, the registry office will need a couple of hours to check your documents.
Such urgent cases include:
- pregnancy of the future wife, confirmed by an extract from the outpatient card of the antenatal clinic;
- the fact of the birth of the child to future spouses (a certificate or birth certificate will be required);
- threat to the life of one of the spouses (an extract from the medical history can serve as confirmation);
Special conditions include urgent long trips or moving to a place of service, as well as various other life situations.
In cases where one of the newlyweds is seriously ill, marriage is recorded directly in medical institutions, at the patient's bedside. This procedure may be prohibited by hospital staff. In any case, before arranging this kind of event, you need to get official permission from the head doctor and the department head.
Sometimes insurmountable circumstances prevent the newlyweds from concluding an alliance on the chosen day. Then the transfer of the date of painting is possible. Remember that the transfer of the celebration is possible for no more than six months. If this period is not enough, it will be recognized that the applicants refuse to enter into a marriage. If in the future you still decide to legitimize your relationship, all documents will need to be submitted again.
How long does it take to register a marriage?
After a month of waiting, the marriage is registered on the day you define. There are two options: solemn and non-holiday painting. During the solemn registration of the bride and groom, they are painted in specially decorated halls of the registry office or cultural palaces rented for this purpose. Future spouses can invite guests to this ceremony. A solemn speech will be delivered and congratulations to the newlyweds.
With a simple registration of marriage (without triumph), everything happens in an ordinary office, without guests. Newlyweds leave murals in the register of civil status and receive a certificate of registration of marriage. This form of ceremony is in most cases practiced if then exit registration is planned. Please note that exit registration is an additional service and it is provided for a fee. Always check prices in your registry office.
To summarize. The wait after submitting the application will last at least a month. The exact deadline will be set by the registry office, but it can not exceed 2 months. Shortening waiting times is also possible. In exceptional cases, they are painted on the day the application is submitted.But no one will take your word for it. Any possibility of reducing the monthly waiting time for registration must be documented. In some particularly popular departments of the registry office and wedding palaces, there is a reservation system for more than six months.
