Why do you have to pay to register a marriage?

According to current laws, young people who want to seal their relationship in marriage are required to pay a state fee that covers some of the expenses of the registry office.

Paid services for state duty:

preparation of documents for marriage registration;
registration of a marriage certificate;
carrying out the registration procedure.

Cost of state duty

Currently, the state fee for marriage is 350 rubles.

If one of the future spouses belongs to the category of beneficiaries, he can pay the state fee using the benefit, which will total 175 rubles.

The amount of the state fee for filing an application for divorce

The state fee in 2021 for filing an application to the registry office for divorce is 650 rubles per person.

If the divorce occurs unilaterally, then the citizen will have to file a claim on his own and the amount of the state fee in this case will be 350 rubles.

In this case, the divorce process is carried out administratively only on the following factors:

One of the partners is considered missing.
The partner is declared legally incompetent.
One of the partners was sentenced to imprisonment for three years or more by a court decision.

Thus, in order to get a divorce through the registry office by mutual consent, you need to pay a state fee of 650 rubles to each spouse.

If the above factors are present, a unilateral divorce through the registry office is possible; the amount of state duty in this case will be 350 rubles.

Procedure for paying state fees for marriage

The state fee for registering a marriage is paid by the couple jointly, that is, to register a family union, there is no need to make a payment of 350 rubles to each party - the bride and groom. Any representative of the couple can pay the fee.

The application submitted to the registry office is accompanied by one receipt for payment of the state fee.

How to fill out a receipt

At the Civil Registry Office you can obtain a form with details for paying the state fee. This document must be filled out correctly.

What is indicated on the receipt:

Account details (if they are not indicated on the form).
Name of the payee.
Full name and passport details of the payment sender.
Residence address.
Payer's TIN.
Payment amount (in numbers).
Signature, date.

When do you need to have your application certified by a notary and how much does it cost?

In accordance with the rules, an application for marriage registration is submitted by two people. At the registry office, a form is filled out, one side of which is intended for the groom, and the other for the bride.

But there are cases in which an application can be filed by one party. Main reasons:

One of the potential spouses is in prison. In this case, the application for marriage registration is certified by a notary at the place of detention.
One of the future spouses is outside the country or city and is not able to come. In this case, the application must be notarized on his behalf.

If a citizen finds himself in a similar situation, then he will need to independently apply for marriage registration.

In this case, you need to get an application filled out by the bride or groom with a notarized signature.

This process includes the following steps:

Filling out a separate application without specifying a date and signature.
The date and signature are placed in the presence of a notary.
Certification of signature by a notary.
Contacting the Civil Registry Office with all the necessary documents and an application with the certified signature of the other party.
Filling out your form by the first party in the presence of a civil registry office employee.

In this situation, the relevant question is how much it costs to certify an application to the registry office with a notary . The cost of notarial actions consists of the notarial tariff, which is established by law and is the same for all notaries, and the cost of legal and technical work.

The last component is approximately the same for notaries, but may differ depending on the region and the specific notary office.

For any notarial act, individuals who have reached the age of majority will need a passport.

To certify applications to the registry office with a notary, you need to pay approximately 500 rubles. This amount may vary slightly in each region and notary office.

Thus, in order to submit an application to the registry office for marriage registration, you must pay a state fee . Only after this will the department staff accept this application.

In 2021, the cost of submitting an application to the registry office is 350 rubles. Either future spouse can make the payment.

If the application is submitted unilaterally, then it must be certified by a notary with the signature of the second party, who cannot be present at the registry office when submitting documents. In this case, you will have to pay an additional 500 rubles for notarial services.

There are several ways to pay the state fee; everyone has the right to choose the most convenient one for themselves.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to do it in one day. I'm going through this myself now. To enter into a marriage, the registry office requires a certificate from a foreign citizen stating that he or she was not married in the territory of the country previously residing. This certificate is taken from the registry office of that country and at the place of previous registration. It is not necessary to leave on your own; you can send a notarized power of attorney to the person who still lives there and he will then send it to you by mail.

How to register a marriage outside the registry office and how much it will cost

Field registration is a paid service that must be paid separately from the state fee. It includes a specialist visiting the wedding venue, delivering a solemn speech, and following all the necessary steps to issue a marriage certificate, which will have legal force. The document itself is drawn up in advance; the newlyweds will only need to sign it and in a special registry office book.

The advantages of this type of registration are that you do not need to go anywhere or stand in line. The newlyweds can choose the date and place themselves. However, the cost will directly depend on the wishes of the couple. The average price in large settlements is 15,000 rubles.

There are some requirements for such registration:

if one of the parties is serving a sentence in prison, then two or more guests are required to register the marriage at the place of detention (guests must have written permission to visit a colony, prison or other similar institution);
when registering abroad, you must pay all the expenses of a civil registry office specialist, but the certificate will not have legal force, so upon arrival in Russia you will need to carry out all the required actions to give it legal status;
When registering a house, you must present certificates confirming your inability to come to the registry office.

Transport and other expenses associated with the activities of the registrar are borne by the newlyweds. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the possibility of realizing the desire to enter into marriage outside the registry office.

Payment for marriage registration in Sberbank

In the Sberbank online service you can also pay the state fee for registering a marriage at the registry office. The service is available to bank clients who have a plastic card or bank account.

Step by step:

Activation in your personal account (if there is no access, the user needs to register on the site and receive a password and login to enter your personal account).
Click on the “Operations and Payments” tab – “Payments to the Budget”.
Select the column “State duty for marriage registration”.
We fill out the payment form, indicating the details, purpose of payment, amount and other data as requested by the service.
We check the entered data to eliminate errors.
Click the “Pay” button.

The money will be withdrawn from the card or bank account and sent to its destination.

Is it possible to sign at the registry office on the day of submitting the application?

As mentioned above, an application for marriage registration is submitted at least 30 days before the wedding. However, there are exceptions to this rule: in some cases, marriage registration is allowed on the day the application is submitted. But such “luxury” is not available to everyone, but only to those newlyweds who have special circumstances, namely:

Bride's pregnancy;
Service of the bride or groom in the army (both fixed-term and contract) ;
Urgent long-term business trip of the bride or groom;
Serious illness of the bride or groom.

Note! In these cases, supporting certificates or petitions must be added to the package of documents established by law.

What it is

State duty is a sum of money that is collected by government organizations from individuals and legal entities for the provision of services and the issuance of certain types of documents that have legal significance.

Such documents, for example, include wills, powers of attorney, complaints, and statements of claim. The state fee must also be paid to obtain a civil status certificate.

Collection of funds is regulated by law. How much the state fee for registering a marriage costs is determined by the legislator, and not by the civil registration authorities. Information about the state duty can be found in the Tax Code (in the twenty-fifth chapter).

Experts consider state duty to be one of the types of tax payments. The legislator requires such payments to be made regardless of the region of the country. Moreover, one hundred percent of the amount is transferred to local and federal budgets.

The state fee at the registry office for marriage is mandatory, since this institution also belongs to government agencies whose services must be paid.

What else is worth knowing?

It is worth understanding that the state duty for marriage in 2018 is not the only fee that can be charged to newlyweds at the registry office. Today, representatives of this organization offer couples registering a relationship to pay for the provision of additional services (payment for them is made on a voluntary basis, and every citizen of the Russian Federation can refuse them).

The cost of additional services depends on various factors, and if you give approximate prices, then the desire of lovers to register with solemn music can cost about 500-1000 rubles. The price of on-site registration will be a little more expensive, because it requires preliminary preparation - registration of the place, creation of surroundings, musical accompaniment and a visit by a representative of the registry office to the place of registration, so you have to pay for it from 3,000 rubles (the upper limit is not limited, because it depends on the cost of decorations and some decorative nuances). Moreover, the cost of additional services may vary depending on what day the registration is carried out, because on holidays the price of “unofficial” services may increase.

In general, no changes in the payment of state duties are expected today, although news on this issue should be closely monitored, because the tax system of the Russian Federation is undergoing a number of changes today, so taxes can begin to change at any time.

Validity

Payment receipts do not expire and must be valid until the ceremony takes place. But in practice, the period for which the state duty for registering a marriage is valid is from one to three months after the established date of the ceremony. If during this time the future spouses do not appear at the registry office, the institution’s employees may not accept the old receipt. Young people will have to submit all the documents again, and along with them a new receipt (that is, pay the state fee again).

Carrying out a solemn marriage ceremony

Marriage registration is a solemn ceremony where a young couple receives the official status of husband and wife. It occurs a month after the application procedure, where some formalities are resolved, for example, the issue of changing the surname. The issued certificate makes the union valid: this legal document is able to confirm it if necessary, and also allows you to get married in a church. You should arrive at the registry office 20 minutes before the appointed time. This period is necessary for preparation and settlement of certain formalities:

payment for the services of the registry office, which includes the cost of the ceremony itself, music, “crusts” and other additional services that you wish;
stamping passports;
issuance of rings to registry office employees.

Later, the young people are invited to a separate room, where they put up their paintings. If you require additional services for the marriage registration ceremony, for example, a registry office photographer, music for a wedding dance, order them at this time. Then the newlyweds will need to wait a little with relatives and friends. The number of guests allowed at the ceremony depends on the size of the hall. This issue should be discussed with an employee of the establishment.

Accommodation of guests in the registry office hall

Before the marriage registration begins, an employee of the registration department will briefly explain to you, the guests present, when you need to enter the hall, where to go, where to stay. The ceremony hall is a spacious room with a luxurious baroque or classicist interior, with a small orchestra, rows of chairs for guests, and a registrar's table. The registry office employee will line everyone up in a column: the bride and groom will be first, then the witnesses, followed by the parents and guests.

The young people come out to the Mendelssohn march

The newlyweds and witnesses enter the registration hall to the sounds of the wedding march. It is better to rehearse this moment a few days before the appointed date of the wedding ceremony. Remember that the bride walks on the left side of the groom, and the groom, in turn, leads the bride by the arm. The witness walks next to the groom, and the witness walks next to the bride. The future spouses stop approximately two meters from the place where the manager's table stands. Next you have to listen carefully, answer questions and not get lost.

Consolidation of marriage with signatures

The registrar makes a long, beautiful, very touching speech for the young couple, dedicated to the creation of a new unit of society, a family. Afterwards he asks the bride and groom if they agree to marry each other. When the young couple confirms their intentions, the registrar declares them husband and wife. Afterwards, the exchange of rings takes place, which are given by the witness. The receptionist gives permission for the husband to kiss his wife, and the invited guests applaud loudly. It is also required to put signatures on the civil status records in two copies.

Newlyweds' first dance

When the state registration of marriage is completed, the first dance of the young couple is announced. It must be rehearsed in advance; sometimes the dance is learned with a special trainer. It could be a waltz or a regular slow composition. Next, the manager announces that all those present can express their congratulations to the newlyweds. Agree in advance with the witnesses so that they accept all the flowers; it will be inconvenient for the spouses to leave the establishment with a full armful of flowers.

Buffet

After the congratulations, a small buffet is arranged: chocolates, champagne, tartlets, snack sandwiches. There is no need to bring a table with you; hand out plastic cups to all guests, and place snacks on trays or the hood of the car. Don't forget about the kids, buy special children's champagne for them. At this point, the solemn registration of marriage is over, and the newlyweds can go for a drive around the city and take pictures.
