State registration of death
State registration of death is carried out by the civil registry office at the last place of residence of the deceased, the place of death, the place where the body of the deceased was found, the location of the organization that issued the death document, the place of residence of parents (one of the parents), children, surviving spouse or at the location of the court that issued the death certificate. decision to establish the fact of death or declare a person dead.

1) the spouse, other family members of the deceased, as well as any other person present at the time of death or otherwise informed of the occurrence of death,
2) a medical organization or social service organization if death occurred during the person’s stay in these organizations,
3) other bodies and institutions (institutions executing punishment, internal affairs bodies, bodies of inquiry or investigation, commander of a military unit) on the territory of which the death occurred.
The declaration of death must be made no later than 3 days from the date of death or from the day the body of the deceased was discovered.
When applying for death, the passport of the deceased is handed over to the registry office for subsequent forwarding to the internal affairs bodies.
When and to which registry office should I apply?
The period for consideration of the application at the registry office is 1 month - this is the standard period established by law. This period of time is provided so that the couple can finally confirm their decision and get to know their soul mate better. After 30 days, the marriage can be registered.
However, there is also an accelerated procedure if:
- The groom is called up for military service;
- The person goes on a business trip;
- The birth of a child is coming;
- According to the state of health of the person.
There is also the opportunity to increase the period for registration to 2 months. Most often this may be due to queues at the registry office or the desire of the couple to get married on a certain day. A couple can sign at any other registry office or wedding palace, regardless of registration and place of residence. While in another region or city, you have the right to submit an application to the registry office of your choice.
Making changes to civil records
Corrections and changes to civil status records are made by the civil registry office if there are legal grounds and in the absence of a dispute between interested parties. If there is a dispute between interested parties, corrections and changes in civil status records are made on the basis of a court decision.
An application for a correction or change in a civil status record must be considered by the civil registry office within 1 month (in exceptional cases, within 3 months) from the date of receipt of the application. Upon receipt of an application for a correction or change in a civil status record, the civil registry office requests a copy of the civil status record subject to correction or change, as well as copies of other act records confirming the existence of grounds for making a correction or change.
Making a correction or change in a civil status record or refusing to make such a correction or change is made on the basis of the conclusion of the civil registry office. If the applicant is denied a correction or change in the civil status record, a written refusal is issued.
The refusal of the head of the civil registry office to make a correction or change in the civil status record may be appealed to the court. The court considers cases of making corrections or changes in civil status records if the civil registry office authorities, in the absence of a dispute about the right, refused to make corrections or changes in the records made. An application for corrections or changes in the civil status record is submitted to the court at the place of residence of the applicant. The application for corrections or changes in the civil status record must indicate what was wrong with the entry in the civil status act, when and by which civil registry body the civil registry office refused to correct or change the entry made.
The court decision, which established the incorrectness of the entry in the civil status act, serves as the basis for correction or change of such entry by the civil registry office.
Based on the corrected or amended civil status record, the applicant is issued a new civil registry certificate.
Which surname should I choose?
The marriage certificate contains information about the last name of each spouse. In the event that a woman has changed her last name, she will have to replace her internal civil passport and foreign passport.
Note!
If there are other documents containing the premarital surname (diplomas, title documents for property), there is no need to replace them. It is enough to present a marriage certificate.
The parties must indicate their choice in the application, however, in the process of family relations, surnames may be changed several times.
There is a restriction for choosing a double family name - if at least one of the citizens had a double surname, they are deprived of the right to make such a choice.
How much does it cost to register a marriage?
The bride and groom are required to pay the state fee. When submitting an application to the registry office, an employee of the institution issues a receipt indicating the details. Payment is made on one receipt on behalf of both spouses.
The amount of state duty is 350 rubles (in accordance with Article 333.26 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). The validity period of the payment receipt is unlimited.
When paying, correctly indicate the amount, details and purpose of payment so that the funds are transferred to the bank account of the civil registry office. The amount of the state duty includes the cost of services for issuing a marriage certificate.
The payment document is a one-time payment and is valid until the moment of use. If over time the amount of the state duty is increased, you will have to make an additional payment. There are several options for paying the state fee:
- Payment at any bank branch;
- Payment through the terminal (including at the registry office);
- Payment via the Internet portal.
If the newlyweds plan to get married in a formal ceremony at the registry office, they will have to spend money, since such a procedure requires additional payment.
If the couple’s marriage does not take place, and the persons did not inform about their refusal to register the marriage, the paid amount of the state fee is not refunded.
Failure to pay the fee is one of the grounds for refusal to register a marriage.

Restoration of civil records

If the lost civil status record was compiled abroad, the restoration of the civil status record can be made at the place where the court decision was made.

The civil status record can be restored upon receipt by the civil registry office of a court decision that has entered into legal force.
Based on the restored civil status record, a civil registry office certificate is issued with a note that the civil status record has been restored.
No-show of the newlyweds on the wedding day
It cannot be ruled out that the registration of a marriage may not take place for a valid or other reason. Moreover, the bride or groom may not show up on the appointed day.
What happens in this case?
In this situation, the official marriage of the couple is considered not to have taken place. In this case, the previously submitted joint application is cancelled. In the future, you will have to go through the procedure of submitting documents to the registry office again.
In practice, most often, registry office employees try to contact the newlyweds in advance and clarify their intention to marry.
It is worth noting that the creation of a new family, in addition to legal subtleties, should be based on mutual feelings. Then the official legalization of relations will not cause any trouble.
