Deadlines for submitting an application to the registry office for marriage registration

Couples who decide to tie their fates with marriage are often faced with the problem of formalities. At first glance, it seems that just writing a statement, submitting it to the appropriate authorities and signing it right away. However, in practice it turns out that compliance with all formalities takes some time. It will not be superfluous to also learn the rules for filing documents, since depending on a particular situation, the timing may vary.

It is important to consider that in addition to the application itself, those entering into marriage must pay a state fee. Today its size is 350 rubles. Given that the marriage procedure is one for two, you need to pay a one-time fee. It is also worthwhile to think over the registration date in advance, choose one of the desired and most suitable. At the same time, you can play it safe and choose not one number, but several, since every hour on the desired day in the registry office can be busy.

In order not to spend much time later, it is necessary to decide together what the ceremony will be. It is necessary to decide in advance whether it will be a shortened solemn or standard solemn type of marriage.

You can call the nearest registry office in advance and specify the schedule of this institution. Despite the fact that such institutions usually work from Tuesday to Saturday, some of them may have different working hours, during which the couple will be asked to submit an application. In addition, in our country on the fourth Thursday of the month, as a rule, a sunday is provided, in which there is no reception. In order not to waste your valuable time, you need to decide on the most convenient watch.

Although there’s usually no difficulty in applying, There are certain nuances that you need to know.

• This applies to information provided by passport data. It is necessary to indicate the surname, first name, patronymic, date, place of birth, citizenship, as well as information about the passport itself (for example, its number, series). Nationality is filled at will, the address of the place of residence is filled in by registration.
• To understand how to fill out the F-7 form, you can pre-download it from the World Wide Web. This eliminates the need for a preliminary trip to the registry office. In this case, the printout must be done with the turnover. You will have to fill out the document manually in legible handwriting. You can use a pen with blue or black ink.
• It is important to note that the document should not contain any abbreviations or corrections. In addition, it is important to take into account such a nuance: in the line with the choice of names there can be no omissions. If the bride does not want to change her last name, she must write her current name in this column. As for the method of applying, today, according to our legislation, this is done in person or online.

• If the couple has Russian citizenship, then in addition to passports (a military card for the groom in the absence of a passport), a receipt of the paid state duty is required. When someone comes to submit an application, you need to provide a power of attorney certified by a notary, allowing the second to submit documents according to all the rules. When couples are registered in which one has not reached the age of majority, the official permission of his parents or guardianship authorities is required.
• Those who were previously married need a certificate of termination. Accordingly, if a reduction in the duration of the procedure is required, it is also necessary to justify this with documents based on the specific case. For example, it can be a certificate of pregnancy of the bride or a disease of one of the future spouses. In addition, other applications may also be submitted.
• If you don’t want to stand in line, it’s easy to submit an application through the public services portal. To do this, you must register there, and then find the registration of relations in the list of services. In addition to filling out an electronic form, you can determine the location of the wedding. This may be a branch at the place of registration or another option that a couple will like, for example, the institution may be located near a restaurant where it is planned to celebrate a significant event.

Regardless of the fact that all offices of the registry office are subject to certain instructions developed for all such institutions, they may have their own instructions. For example, in some marriage institutes it is allowed to submit the relevant documents in several months. However, the opinion that it is possible to submit documents one year before the wedding is erroneous. As for standard situations, on average, the date of marriage is set a month before the wedding.

Today, when applying, you can reserve the desired date. Reservation of specific time and day in our country is permitted by law from two months to six months.However, in this case, a month before the desired booked date, you will have to come to the registry office and apply for marriage registration. Otherwise there will be no reason for booking.

There is a special (freelance) situation in which the applicants (or someone alone, most often the bride) barely reached the age of 14 years. However, in this case, despite the consent of the parents or guardians, one cannot do without the permission of the governor of a particular area. But at the same time, if registration is implied between the guardian and the child he takes care of, it is impossible and receives a legitimate refusal. The same can be said of adopted children and their parents. In such cases, the application is simply not accepted.

When contacting the institution of marriage, it is possible and especially important when the couple needs a specific day, significant for both of them, to book several dates. However, if the application is submitted through the public services portal, the number of chances is reduced. Only two dates are allowed here. Moreover, if for some reason the bride and groom do not come for registration on the first specified day and time, they will be able to do it on another booked day. The date will be transferred automatically.

If the wedding date is simply postponed to another day due to the failure to appear at the wedding, you need to re-submit the application and, as a result, another payment of the state fee. However, if the couple warn the registry office employees in advance that they will not be able to come to registration, and the need to postpone the date, they will not need to pay a second time for painting.

Like any state office work, consideration will take some time. State institutions have strictly established deadlines that you need to know for those who decide to apply for marriage registration.

• The standard term is 30 days. This is the minimum period for consideration of an application from the moment of its submission in ordinary situations.
• Abbreviated is considered individually. Depending on the situation, the minimum review period may be from one to five days.
• The extended waiting period can reach two months. This is possible with a large workload of institutions. There will already have to wait in turn.

It is also possible an emergency situation in which the registry office employees can register the marriage on the day of application. This decision is made by the head of the department on the basis of the documentation and objective circumstances. As for the reservation, the maximum time can be expected by submitting an application through the portal of public services (six months).

Time can be reduced if the newlyweds do not plan a gala wedding. Then usually guests are not invited, and therefore there is no need to wait for a certain day. In the absence of congestion, the registry office employees can schedule the next Tuesday or Wednesday, since these days there is usually no shortage of free time. However, if the institution has strict principles, it will still take at least a month to wait for registration after considering the application.

In this case, when submitting the application and the presence of the paid state duty, a copy of the identity document of the foreign citizen should be prepared. The information provided must be necessarily translated into our language and certified by a notary. Without them, it is useless to submit an application. In addition, do not forget that you need to have a visa with you, which a foreign citizen must have. Also, if a foreigner was previously legally married, he must provide a document on the termination thereof.

There are cases when you can reduce the time for consideration of documents. For example, the following:

• expectation of a child for a period of more than ten weeks;
• the presence of a joint child at the applicants;
• severe illness of the bride or groom;
• a difficult life situation in which one of the registrants is about to leave soon.

If the bride or groom is minors, under no circumstances will they be able to file an application for marriage registration on their own. In accordance with the law will have to wait eighteen years. Sometimes the processing time of an application may increase due to holidays. For example, these may be the first days of the coming year.

Regardless of the desire of the couple, you can not find any free dates and even more so on specific days. Such information is not published on the portal of public services, it is not indicated by phone. Information can only be obtained personally, and then they will relate specifically to your registration.

With regard to the design and submission of an application through the portal of public services, before filling out the form, you need to create accounts for the future husband and wife. After that, go to the marriage registration section and fill out the application.

Finally, it’s worth considering a few unusual situations to know what to do in this or that case and why the registry office employee may refuse to register.

• If the bride is 20 years old and she needs to change her passport, but at the same time she is going to get married, she can immediately change her passport and last name.
• If the girl or boy is not 18, it is useless to submit an application without the consent of the parents, he simply will not be accepted for consideration. You should not try to circumvent the issue online. Even if they are only a month away from coming of age, they will not consider the application, the couple will receive a reasonable refusal to register.
• As for the cost of registration, often it can be an unpleasant moment that will spoil the mood of both. If there is no money for a solemn wedding, you do not need to pay anything but state duty. In the end, in the absence of finance, it makes no sense to pay for live music and photos.
• Forced deportation of one of the future spouses from our country is not included in the number of circumstances allowing to reduce the time for consideration of the application.
• If the couple is interested in a specific registration day, which is of particular importance for the two of them, you can apply through the government services portal. In this case, more likely to get on the desired date.

With the standard procedure and the observance of all formalities, an application must be submitted to the registry office exactly one month in advance. However, due to life circumstances, this period can be changed both upward and downward. This decision is made by the head of the particular marriage department, based on the submitted documents and registration laws in special cases. It is possible that it is not always possible to shorten the waiting time due to the workload of the registry office. In addition, any review should be legal; it cannot be accelerated unless there are good reasons for it.

Under standard conditions, two people make an application in any registry office in the Russian Federation. If this is not possible, use the option of filling out separate forms, the statement by each side is written independently (categorically it is impossible for each other). Subsequently, the documents are certified by a notary and submitted to the registry office. Without assurance in this case, the employees of the Wedding Palace will not accept them, even if there are good reasons.
