General provisions

The procedure for performing registration actions at the registry office is impossible if the decision of the newlyweds is not put into legal form.

The only legally significant basis for the official registration of a marriage relationship is an application to the registry office, the form of which must reliably confirm the will of two citizens.

Article 10 of the RF IC stipulates that carrying out this procedure falls within the competence of institutions for recording status acts. Since this procedure is aimed at legalizing family legal relations and, at the same time, is a public service, each stage is regulated in detail by regulations:

• Family Code of the Russian Federation;
• Federal Law of November 15, 1997 No. 143-FZ;
• Administrative regulations for marriage registration (approved by Order of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation No. 412).

It is these acts that determine the procedural procedure for filling out and presenting the necessary forms for registration, as well as the application form to the registry office.

There are currently three possible options for citizens to apply:

• directly to the civil registry office at your place of residence;
• through the Multifunctional Centers (MFC) system;
• through a single website of government services.

Submitting an application through this public service implies the need for verification on the portal, since Art. 26 of Law No. 143-FZ regulates the obligation to sign forms using a simple electronic signature.

Regardless of the method of application, at the time of official registration of family relations, both parties must appear in person at the registry office at the appointed time, otherwise the procedure will be considered failed.

Rules for filling out an application to the registry office for marriage registration

The detailed procedure for preparing for an application to the registry office is regulated in Art. 26 of Law No. 143-FZ. To create a family, citizens must complete the following formalities:

1. Contact one of the indicated institutions.
2. Receive a marriage application form ().
3. Fill out an application to the registry office with your own hand, a sample of which can be filled out.
4. Submit the required forms, as well as the application form to the civil registry officer.
5. Receive a receipt indicating the date of the registration procedure.
6. Show up at the appointed time for the registration procedure.
7. Receive the final marriage form.

A sample form for filling out an application for marriage must be studied in advance to avoid unnecessary problems at the registration stage. In addition, a sample application to the registry office for marriage registration is posted on stands in the registry office and is available for free inspection.

The marriage application form must contain a number of required elements:

• information about citizens getting married, and also their passport details;
• the will of citizens to create a family, certified by personal signatures;

• data on the nationality and education of the newlyweds;

Since both citizens provide information at the same time, the application form for marriage registration is submitted in a single copy. The exception is cases when application forms to the registry office are filled out by citizens separately with simultaneous notarization of the signature.

Our article provides recommendations on how to write an application to the registry office, a sample of which is available for download.

Meanwhile, the legislation does not contain special requirements for its design, since all sections and lines of Form No. 7 are intuitive and should not cause difficulties for citizens.

An application to the registry office for marriage registration, the form of which is issued to citizens upon application, must be completed in the following order:

1. Indication of personal data of both applicants (point 1);
2. Filling out information about the date of birth and age of the newlyweds (column 2);

Application to the registry office - what this form looks like

If citizens are getting married for the first time, they may not be familiar with the form. To do this, it is recommended to download and print out an application to the registry office for marriage registration in advance, a sample of which can be downloaded in the article or viewed below.

Errors when filling out

Many young people often make very primitive mistakes in filling out forms. One of them is incorrectly specified passport data (series number, date of issue, authority that issued the document). Even one wrong letter or license plate can invalidate the document.

Another very common mistake is that many people fill out their registration address in column number six. But you must indicate the address of your actual residence (even if you are not registered there).

If it is the first marriage and there are no documents confirming the existence of a previous marriage, you should not write missing. It is enough to indicate that the marriage is primary.

Key Features

According to the law, at least thirty days must pass after submitting documents (here is a complete list of documents for registering a marriage). And only after this period can one count on the legal formalization of the relationship. But, as we know in practice, one month is not enough, so it is better to submit an application two to three months before the expected wedding.

The process can be accelerated only with the help of medical certificates confirming one of the cases such as:

1. The bride is pregnant.
2. The presence of a serious illness that can lead to death.

Also, if people have a child together, they have the right to demand that the relationship be formalized in the coming days.

State duty

When submitting documents, you must provide a receipt confirming payment of the state fee. Without this document, paperwork will not be possible.

At the moment, the state duty is 350 rubles, this amount is fixed in Art. 333.26 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and includes payment for registration activities and the issuance of a marriage certificate.

Payment is made according to the details of the regional civil registry office, and the original payment document must be attached to the application.

If for any reason a decision was made to refuse to register family relationships, the state fee is not refundable or offset. If you apply again, you will need to pay again.

Submitting an application online

The online application for registering family relationships is as follows:

1. Registration on the government services website www.gosuslugi.ru.
2. Entering the required information.
3. Go to the section on electronic services.
4. Select the item - state registration of marriage.
5. Selecting a specific division of a government body, MFC and wedding date.
6. Filling out the application form.
7. Saving entered data.
8. Receive a notification that your application has been accepted for consideration.

Applications are often reviewed and verified within 5 business days. After this, a notification is sent to the specified email, informing you when and what time the bride and groom need to appear at the registry office.

Deadlines

The timing of verification activities and the appointment of a subsequent registration date cannot be less than one month; this rule is provided for in Art. 27 of Law No. 143-FZ.

The parties are notified of the date of the main registration action when submitting an application to the registry office. As a rule, such a date is determined in agreement with the applicants, but cannot be set earlier than the specified period.

Upon expiration of the appointed period, both applicants must appear at the appointed time to complete the registration act. Before making an entry in the deed registration book, the newlyweds have the opportunity to change their decision on choosing a future surname, as well as refuse to continue the procedure.
