Advantages of using online marriage registration services
Today, every region of the Russian Federation (territory, region, republic, Moscow and St. Petersburg) has such an important and modern management tool as the public services portal.
There is also a main portal where any Russian can register, but not all
services are available.
By registering with government services, you can submit an application for marriage online.
The advantages of such registration are invaluable:
- You can submit an application at any time of the day or night, on any day of the week (and not according to the work schedule of the local registry office);
- You can announce your marriage without leaving your home;
- no need to print out a receipt and run to the bank to pay the state fee (this procedure is available online).
Choosing a place for on-site registration
The first thing you need to pay attention to is the location for outdoor painting. It’s worth noting right away that the further the site is from your city and the more difficult the access to it, the more problems there will be with transporting props and guests. Therefore, it is better to choose a location closer to the locality for on-site wedding registration. Here are some suitable options.
Courtyard of a country house
If you are lucky enough to live in a private home or have the opportunity to rent it, why not hold the ceremony right in the yard? If it is small, then you can invite your closest ones and meet the rest at the banquet. In the USA and Europe, it is generally popular to celebrate quiet family weddings for a maximum of 30 people right at home, with a picnic in the yard, a small dance floor and evening fireworks.
Restaurant or cafe
Official off-site registration can be carried out directly at the banquet site. It's convenient: no moving from place to place. Only it is better to choose a large restaurant, so that there is enough space for the arch and the “auditorium”, tables, stage and dance floor.
Natural locations
Right outside your city, there may well be a picturesque forest clearing or a flat bank of a reservoir. A beautiful background for photos and an atmosphere of freedom and tranquility are guaranteed to you.
Nature with a touch of civilization
Outside the city you can also find a landscaped place for a symbolic ceremony outside the walls of the registry office. On-site marriage registration may even be listed among the services of nearby agricultural estates, country recreation centers, glampings, etc.
Open area in the city
If your locality has a beautiful park, forest park or botanical garden, take note of this option. Unlike “wild” nature, there are likely to be paved areas and asphalt paths, which will greatly facilitate the placement of props and the movement of guests, both by car and on foot.
Local architectural monument
An old manor or an ancient castle are excellent locations for on-site registration. Only the holding of the ceremony must be agreed upon in advance with the relevant authorities, especially if we are talking about an official ceremony.
Motor ship or yacht
This idea is relevant for those who live in coastal cities or towns with a fairly wide river, lake or other body of water. For the ceremony, you will need to rent a spacious boat to have room for everyone. An amazing experience is guaranteed!
Start
The first step to applying is identifying the right site. As you know, you can sign in any branch of the registry office, so you need to choose a government services portal in the region where the wedding palace in which you intend to carry out the procedure is located.
The next step is to register on the portal or log in if you have a personal account on the federal government services website.
After authorization, you need to find, after which you will be taken to the application completion page.
Secret from parents
Anna and Oleg Klokov: “Registration of marriage is a private matter for the two of us.”
A second couple appears at the door. Judging by the sparkle in their eyes, Anna and Oleg Klokov are in a joyful and slightly eccentric mood. As they said after they had the marriage certificate in their hands, the decision to get married arose spontaneously and they told practically no one about their plans. Even parents.
- This matter concerns only the two of us,
- said Oleg.
“ We know each other well—we’ve been dating for three years, we’ve been living together for a year.”
All that's left to do is get official registration. Anya called one day and said, let’s go to the registry office! Here we are. By profession, Anna is an administrator, Oleg is a sales manager. I suggest that they stopped by the registry office during lunch break - after all, they could easily make it, considering how quickly everything goes by. But no.
— Took a vacation
“,” the newlyweds smiled.
— Tomorrow we are flying to Cyprus for two weeks.
We have booked an exotic wedding ceremony there. Well, when we arrive, all our relatives and friends will know about our new status. The separation of the formal and informal parts of a marriage is a very common phenomenon today.
— For many young couples, it is very important that the date of creation of their family is, for example, February 14, because it is Valentine's Day, or December 31, because their parents also got married on this day,
— Natalya Filimonova shares her experience.
“ That’s why they receive the certificates on the date they want to see in their passport, and after a while, in the summer, they organize a wedding.
How to apply for marriage registration online?

Next, fill in information about the places of birth of the spouses. The next step is to fill out the fields about registration, passport data, and previous marriages.

How to change a solemn marriage registration to a non-solemn one
In some life circumstances, it may be necessary to abandon the solemn part of the wedding. The law does not provide for a special procedure or form for applying for such a replacement.
Since the days for solemn and non-solemn marriages are different, the obligatory permission of the manager and the determination of a new date will be required. Civil registry office employees usually accommodate future spouses and change the registration form without difficulty.
How to pay the state fee?
The registration fee (350 rubles) can be paid using a receipt, which can be taken from:
- in person at the registry office;
- print from the official website of the civil registry office (the details of the selected registry office must be indicated, and not according to registration);
- print from your personal account on the portal where you submitted your application (in the “receipts” tab).
You can pay the fee:
- in the bank;
- at the post office;
- in the Sberbank terminal;
- online (through payment systems or online banking).
As a rule, registration of marriage of minors occurs with the permission of parents or guardians, but in some cases permission is not required. What is good about offsite marriage registration? We talked about this in detail here. A marriage between relatives may be declared invalid. Why - you can find out about this in our article.
For the sake of the future baby
Tuesday.
About one o'clock in the afternoon. At the registry office of the Moskovsky district of Minsk, three couples are registered today for non-solemn marriage registration. The main entrance to the building is closed on weekdays, so we enter from the administrative one. One of the main differences between non-ceremonial registration is that, as a rule, it takes place not in a large hall with crystal chandeliers and white columns, but right in the office of the head of the registry office. 21-year-old Christina Lappo and 27-year-old Maxim Demyankov arrived early. They are a little worried: they fiddle with the reminder card, which indicates the date and time of the event. From 13.00 to 14.00. The minutes are not detailed - the procedure takes place on a first-come, first-served basis.
The future spouses do not fit into traditional ideas of how a bride and groom should look - they are both wearing jeans. The bride has no flowers. As well as witnesses, relatives and other “retinue”. The presence of an escort, exchange of rings and other attributes is already a format for ceremonial registration.
Christina is a seamstress, Maxim is a bartender. They date for seven months. They planned to get married by the fall, but one circumstance hurried them - Christina became pregnant.
— Children should be born into a complete family, so we decided to speed up the formalization of relationships,
- says Maxim.
— The application was submitted literally last Saturday.
They asked when we wanted to sign, and we said Tuesday. Considering that the registry office had a day off on Monday, we almost didn’t have to wait. Another reason why the newlyweds chose registration without celebrations is its budget.
“Since there will soon be three of us, Christina and I decided that it would be best to spend the money on preparing for the birth of our son, and not on magnificent celebrations, especially since now we are still limited in funds. When we have some extra money, we will definitely have a party. We'll also buy rings a little later.
However, the newlyweds are still planning a small celebration. Tonight there will be a festive dinner with the closest relatives.
