Legal marriage is one of the most important decisions in the fate of every citizen. However, in a state of law, the birth of a new family should begin legally. In accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Family Code, the submission of an official application to the registration authorities and the procedure for concluding a marriage relationship should be carried out in accordance with the law.
According to state statistics, the number of people wishing to become husband and wife in our country is constantly growing, which is why the number of queues at the thresholds of civil registry offices is becoming more and more. In these circumstances, it would be most reasonable to book the desired date for the wedding ceremony using the State Services portal.
The advantages and disadvantages of distance form
The main advantages of ordering a wedding date through public services are:
- the ability to submit an electronic application through an online portal indicating all the necessary information without leaving home;
- the user can choose at any time convenient for him and in a comfortable environment what additional services for registering his own wedding he needs: a ceremony, exit registration, live music and so on;
- the bride and groom have the opportunity to choose their favorite registry office service in their region, where they will register their relationship.
However, it is imperative that you take into account the fact that all the documents submitted indicated in the online application for the registration procedure must be presented in the original.
The disadvantages of filing an application for marriage through the website of the State Services include the fact that this option in our country is possible only if two circumstances are observed. Firstly, the newlyweds are required to undergo the mandatory registration procedure on the most official Internet resource, and secondly, The account of the user submitting the electronic application must be verified in one of the possible ways, namely:
- after contacting the Service Center of regular users or the MFC;
- using the services of the Russian Post;
- using an electronic signature;
- on the official website of Sberbank online.
The main drawback of such a system for filing an application for marriage is the fact that without paying a state fee, an application will not be sent to the registration service.
Whereas during a personal visit to the registry office, a qualified employee will first check your documents and then issue a receipt for payment. Thus, you will not incur any financial losses. It must be recalled that such a payment has a validity period and is not refundable in case of refusal to accept the application.
To date, the implementation of these provisions is mandatory, because to complete an electronic application, you will need to fill out all personal data, as well as send an invitation to your future spouse, who must confirm and double-check it. After that, the completed application will be sent to the registration service.
Deadlines
On the official portal of Gosuslug there is a specialized document of the F-7 form, designed to apply for marriage registration. It must be submitted one calendar month before the desired date of the ceremony. In some regions, this period can be increased to two months. This length of time is provided so that future spouses can think about the appropriateness of their decision, as well as prepare for the upcoming celebration. Moreover, if citizens decide to change their mind, documents are returned to them without any penalties and other bureaucracy.
In order to legalize relations in an accelerated mode, it is necessary to provide official evidence of special circumstances, these include:
- pregnancy of the spouse;
- the birth of a joint child;
- if one of the future spouses will be sent on a long urgent business trip;
- the groom or bride has serious health problems that could be life threatening;
- direct threat to the life of one of the spouses (the groom goes to serve in one of the regions where hostilities take place)
Permission for emergency marriage shall be issued by the head of the registration service, if relevant documents are available.
What documents will be required?
To submit an application to the registration authorities in electronic form, the same documents are required as for a personal visit. When filling out a document online, it will be necessary to take into account all the points required by our legislation.
Future spouses are required to have:
- documents proving their identity (passports, military certificate, certificate from the passport and visa service, if the document is on a replacement or a passport of a foreign citizen with an official translation into Russian);
- if the expectation of a marriage ceremony can be reduced, an official confirmation of exceptional circumstances must be provided;
- a document confirming the dissolution of a previous marriage (if it had a place to be);
- birth certificates of future spouses to indicate nationality (check with the registry office employee).
All documents must be presented in the original form on the day of registration of marriage for inspection by the registration service employee.

- It is important to pay attention to the fact that future spouses are not required to fill in the next column. It must be issued to persons who previously were in other registered relationships. The names of the newlyweds after marriage registration are also indicated here. After the wedding, the husband and wife have the right to leave their premarital surname, to take the surname of the husband (wife); use the double surname, which is formed by adding the name of the bride to the name of the groom.
- Here we indicate the following order of personal data: individual SNILS number, date of birth, email address of the bride (groom). Then we activate the special option “Invitation”.

Currently, the average cost of a state duty for marriage registration in the Russian regions is 350 rubles, and at a discount it will be only 245 rubles.
- After payment of the state duty is made, your application will be redirected by the system to a specific state registration service. Here she is carefully checked by the registration service. If everything matches the letter of the law, then the application will be approved and a date will be set.
On the wedding day, the newlyweds are obliged to arrive at the venue of the ceremony with the originals of all the indicated documents. The most important thing is not to forget the passport and the original receipt of payment of state duty.
Confirmation of the legality of the application must be received by the user within one day from the moment of the official invitation. This is due to the fact that booking the desired date and time of the ceremony can be carried out no more than 24 hours.
What should I do if the function of submitting a marriage application on the State Services website is not available?
There were cases when the user could not use the "Submit Application" function to the online registration service. This can happen for a number of different reasons.
- The service is temporarily or permanently blocked by decision of the administrative authorities of this region of the Russian Federation. Usually users are notified in advance.
- Due to technical work. In this situation, you must wait a while, and then try again to file an application.
- Errors have occurred in the work of the official resource or your provider. It is necessary to wait until the work of the portal is fully restored.
How to pay the state fee for marriage registration online?
Many users are interested in the question of how it is possible to pay the state fee on the website of the State Services. This payment is made on the portal itself after filling out an official application. It can be carried out using the electronic card of your bank or from the electronic wallet of one of the payment systems (the amount of the commission will directly depend on your operator). If the receipt is not paid, the application will not be sent to the registration authority.
In order to correctly draw up an application in the registry office, as well as to find out what list of documents is required, you can always use the State services portal. That is why this resource enjoys such popularity among the population. However, it is worth noting that in case of doubt or complex individual issues, it is recommended to consult with a professional specialist. This can also be done online or by calling the government agency of interest. Speaking specifically about filing an application for marriage through public services, all the visible amenities will be obvious to the naked eye, because the procedure for filling out a document takes only a few minutes.
At the same time, personal data must be entered very carefully. Any typo in filling in the data of the passport may cause a refusal to accept your application by the registration authority. In this case, the procedure will need to be repeated. Due consideration should also be given to the choice of the registration service institution itself and the date of the wedding ceremony.
Reviews
If we talk about the reviews of people who used the portal of public services in general, it is important to note the general positive trend. So, people like this method of processing applications, because it is convenient and fast. However, like any system, the portal has a number of advantages and disadvantages. Its advantages include:
- significant time savings, because you can compile and file a marriage application in literally 10-15 minutes;
- the possibility of booking the date of the ceremony;
- the user does not need to stand in lines;
- quick response of registry office employees to a statement;
- the ability to choose any registration service available in the region of residence;
- You can choose additional services for the organization of the registration ceremony;
- the opportunity to pay the state duty directly on the State Services portal itself with a 30% discount.
The disadvantages of such a system are:
- Mandatory registration procedure on the official website of the State Service;
- the need to pay the state fee before the documents are checked by the registry office employee (without this, the application simply will not be redirected to the registration service), and if the application is refused, the fee will most likely be lost;
- as the clients themselves note, the notification system does not always work stably on the portal;
- some functions of the site can be blocked permanently or temporarily at the request of an administrative body of state power in a specific region of Russia;
- Portal operation directly depends on the speed of your provider, as well as the stability of the hosting itself.
In any case, according to many users, the public service program is our future. This method of communication between citizens and state institutions is beneficial and convenient both for clients and for employees of organizations - it allows you to get rid of a large crowd of people in the institution, which means that it saves both parties a lot of time and nerves.
