“Do’s” and “don’ts” in the registry office: official instructions

What is marriage and who can enter into it?

According to Russian law, marriage is considered a voluntary union between a man and a woman who have crossed the threshold of adulthood. A marriage will be recognized as valid if it has been officially documented by the civil registry office (civil registry office).

An officially registered marriage with a stamp in the passport has civil status, any other status is simple cohabitation

To purchase it you need:

• be an adult, reach the age of 16 in exceptional cases (for some regions the age threshold has been lowered to 14 years);
• voluntary consent of the two parties;
• apply.

A stamp in the passport can be placed only if the future spouses do not have another marriage registered at the time of filing the application. In addition, marriage is considered unacceptable for close relatives or incapacitated citizens.

What is non-solemn marriage registration?

The non-ceremonial registration of marriage takes place in an official setting in one of the registry office offices. Only the bride and groom are present at the painting.

Advantages and disadvantages

Non-solemn registration of a marriage has its pros and cons. Let's look at them.

Advantages:

1. Great cost savings. You can get officially married without extra costs. The couple needs to pay a small state fee. All other expenses for the wedding celebration are at the request of the future spouses.
2. Possibility of quickly registering a family union. Such registrations are carried out on different days of the week and, as a rule, the registry office schedule often has free places for upcoming dates for quick registration.
3. The optimal solution for modest people who avoid noisy companies and holiday bustle.
4. Lack of regulations. The bride and groom can come in any clothes, without flowers, rings or other wedding accessories.

Flaws:

1. Lack of a touching moment. The marriage is registered in an official setting without beautiful words and congratulations.
2. You cannot invite guests to the ceremony.

The difference between the solemn registration of marriage and the non-solemn one

Not all future newlyweds are satisfied with registering their marriage in a solemn ceremony; there are also couples who prefer an extremely modest ceremony. The reasons for this are different for everyone, but registering a marriage without a formal part is now no less popular. The differences in this procedure are significant, so future spouses should be aware of them so that there are no unpleasant surprises or unjustified expectations on their family’s birthday. So, marriage registration without a ceremonial part is carried out:

• much faster - in 10 minutes, no more;
• without guests (well, unless witnesses can be present);
• not in the ceremonial hall, but in the office of the registry office;
• for half the price;
• on any working day of the week;
• without a cameraman, photographer, ceremonial speech, wedding dresses, champagne and other attributes.

Of course, not everyone will like a non-ceremonial painting ceremony, because due to the lack of a festive atmosphere, young people may not feel the full significance of the event. But it also has its advantages, so it can be called less burdensome for couples than inferior.

What future newlyweds should know

By Russian standards, marriage is a voluntary equal union of a man and a woman. Both partners must fit within certain limits at the time of the wedding ceremony. The conclusion of the union takes place in the civil registry office. The procedure will be easy to complete if the following conditions are met:

1. Two adults are getting married. These words mean that the man and woman are ready to take full responsibility for what is happening. Officially, the age of marriage starts at 18 years. However, entering into adulthood in itself is not a reason for such a radical change in life values. People should approach this event with awareness and not just act on strong emotions. In exceptional cases, the registry office can register from the age of 16, but this requires compelling reasons, for example, the bride’s pregnancy.
2. Confirm your personal consent and submit the appropriate application. Of course, these are not the times when a guy is forced into marriage or a girl is forced into marriage. However, the decision needs to be confirmed. At this moment, people take responsibility for their future life together and completely change their fate. You should not take the intention lightly, think that this is a beautiful game.

Rules for formalizing relationships

State registration of marriage involves going through a number of formalities. It is necessary to follow a clear sequence of actions in order to get closer to the desired result. Both participants in the event fill out an application, draw up paperwork and wait their turn.

The moment of marriage occurs after 30 calendar days. This is a standard scheme to follow. In fact, there are waiting lists for wedding events, so the desired dates are booked in advance. However, the countdown still occurs from the day the application is submitted. If you need to sign urgently, the registry office will accommodate you halfway. But only exceptional cases are taken into account:

1. The bride is pregnant, the pregnancy is already quite long, the belly is becoming more and more clearly visible every day.
2. Progressive disease. It’s a sad case, but it helps to easily get the right to sign without waiting in line.
3. The need for military service. The registry office understands that time is limited and it is necessary to give the newlyweds at least the opportunity to have a wedding now, rather than postponing it for a long time.

The listed circumstances do not mean that the reason can be stated only in words. Any application must be supported by relevant documents: certificates from work or from another place. Depending on the case, the registry office makes a specific decision.

Choosing a territorial body

Previously, the law on confirmation of registration was in force for newlyweds. At the moment, it’s enough just to come to the registry office in your city. It doesn't matter how close people live.

List of documents

Most young people are concerned with the question: what documents are needed and whether obstacles may arise? In fact, there are no big problems, unless something really prevents the couple from signing. The following documents are required:

1. A completed application according to all the rules
2. Provide identification documents
3. Receipt for timely payment of state duty

Not the first wedding

If one of the spouses applies to the registry office for this purpose not for the first time, he must have in his hands documentary evidence that the previous marriage has now been terminated and the law no longer binds him to his former spouse.

Here is a list of 3 documents that confirm the end of the previous marriage:

1. Death document (for widow/widower).
2. Document on the dissolution of a previous marriage (for divorced people).
3. A document recognizing a marriage as invalid by a court decision.

No eighteen

If one or both of those applying to a government agency on such a joyful but serious occasion are not yet eighteen, they must first obtain permission to marry .

By the way, in different regions of the Russian Federation the age at which one can apply for such a permit differs: most often it is 16 years old, but 14 is also common.

You must go to your local government office to obtain permission. Typically, permission is issued by the heads of administrations of districts, cities, villages, etc. You need to write an application and attach a document indicating a valid reason for marriage.

The law does not provide for the consent of parents or other adults related to the minor being married. Local authorities have no right to either demand such consent or refuse you permission to go to the registry office on the basis of disagreement of elders in any form (written complaints, walking around the offices with a scandal, etc.).

Marriage with a foreigner

To register a marriage in Russia with a resident of another country, you will need the following package of documents:

1. Filling out an application in their native language, completing and providing the registry office with a notarized translation.
2. Translation of his passport with visa and registration stamps.
3. A document stating that he has no other valid marriage.

The registration procedure itself will take place in a standard manner - in accordance with Russian regulations.

Marriage to a prisoner

In order to sign with a person in “places not so remote,” you must personally appear at the registry office and ask for an application form. Then contact the department of the penitentiary system where the spouse is serving his sentence.

If no insurmountable circumstances prevent the marriage, the prisoner will fill out his part of the application in front of a notary.

The marriage ceremony will take place in one of the premises of the establishment - where it is convenient for both the representative of the registry office and the staff of the establishment (in other words, where the boss gives orders).

Can they register a marriage without a passport?

Without a civil passport identifying the person entering into marriage, registration is not carried out. If you haven’t changed your mind about getting married on the appointed day, don’t forget your passports at home! And be sure to check the presence of the document before going to the registry office.

During the registration procedure at the registry office, a marriage stamp is placed in the passports of the bride and groom, after which the newlyweds receive a certificate of a registered marriage.

Date of application and wedding

The peculiarity is that young people will have to wait a month. The law does not provide for a rule so that a guy and a girl can sign urgently - after two or three days, or at least after a week, except in exceptional cases. A month is given to think about it, to finally understand whether you want to share your life with a person. If the decision has not changed within 30 days, the bride and groom successfully sign and become husband and wife.

Marriage registration days

The wedding day is scheduled for any free time, but not earlier than 30 days later. Non-ceremonial registrations are usually held on Thursday and Sunday, as these are the days when the schedule is less busy. The couple can also be offered painting in the morning hours on Friday or Saturday, before the time of the official marriage registration.

Payment

Before going through all the necessary stages, you need to pay a state fee. The amount is only 350 rubles. Only one party can pay for it. The implication is that people act from a single decision. Payment can be made through the terminal (with subsequent saving of the receipt), or by using the money transfer service at the bank. As a rule, this does not take much time.

How much do additional services cost?

Employees of a state institution, which is the registry office, do not have the right to charge a fee for holding a ceremony , but companies involved in the professional organization of celebrations often offer their services at wedding palaces. Their help often turns out to be indispensable, because an independent manager will meet guests and organize their placement in the hall, supervise photo and video shooting, hire musicians and serve the buffet.

At the same time, the couple has the opportunity to take all the worries upon themselves and invite their own photographer and operator, as a result of which they can save a lot. On average, the solemn registration of marriage will cost young people from 500 to 3000 rubles.

Some registry offices offer ceremonial registration of marriage in the European style , when the bride is brought into the wedding hall by the father. This ceremony is often accompanied by live music. For obvious reasons, the price of such registration exceeds 2000 rubles.

Separately, we should mention such a service as on-site marriage registration. In this case, the ceremony is held outside the registry office. Employees of the government agency go to the specified place where the newlyweds decided to sign. The cost of such a ceremony starts from 3,000 rubles.

Text of the registry office employee's speech at the wedding

In various registry offices in Russia, registrars make different speeches to the newlyweds. It is worth noting that the words that the worker speaks to the young touch the most remote corners of the soul and heart.

Therefore, sometimes there is a desire to listen to this fiery speech again in order to again experience those emotions that overwhelmed you in the registration hall in front of numerous guests. Here is an example of one speech from the registrars.

Dear bride and groom! In the fate of any person there are memorable days that leave the deepest impression. And it is today that will remain in your memory for the rest of your life. This day is the day of creating your family hearth.

Starting a family is a voluntary action. Therefore, in order to legitimize your relationship, I must ask you whether your willingness to start a family is genuine, frank and free.

Next, the registrar asks the young people a question. They, in turn, give positive answers, and the registrar continues the speech. By accepting your consent in the presence of your parents, friends and close guests, I register your union. I ask you to come to the table and seal your tandem with signatures.

After signing the papers, the registry office employee continues his speech. Dear newlyweds, in accordance with Russian legislation, your union is now legal. I now majestically pronounce you husband and wife. You can congratulate each other with a kiss. As a sign of great and pure love and loyalty, I ask you to exchange rings.

Dear spouses, at this moment I am presenting you with your first common, family document. The marriage certificate should be presented to the spouse, since he is the head of the newly-made family. Please accept my congratulations.

Honorable spouses, you will remember this special day forever. Today you started a family. Now you are husband and wife, the founders of a new unit of society and the continuers of your dynasty.

In married life, take care of each other, give warmth and kindness to each other. Always remember those who raised you - your parents.

I want to wish you happiness, prosperity and good luck. And now guests can congratulate the young couple.

How to apply

The form for filling out the form is standard. It is approved by the law of the Russian Federation. You can actually find an example freely available on the Internet, or fill it out right on the spot. The application for marriage consists of two columns: for a man and for a woman. All necessary parameters are filled in. A special column is dedicated to choosing a surname. Both participants in the event must decide on its euphony. There are often cases when a girl leaves her maiden name, and the husband takes his wife’s surname.

Personally

It is believed that the official registration of a relationship is a serious and responsible matter. You must approach it with a clear head and with firm confidence. That is why it is prohibited to involve third parties in this matter.

It is unacceptable to shift responsibility onto someone else, even a close relative. A person must find time and act from a pure heart, with bright thoughts. This can be done in two ways - come to the institution yourself, or contact the multifunctional center.

The main thing is that no one else has the right to submit an application on behalf of someone else.

Through MFC

Today, there is the prospect of submitting an application and the necessary documents through the MFC. This approach really simplifies the process and allows you to find ways to solve various difficult situations. On weekdays, registry offices are open until six in the evening. You can contact the MFC even late in the evening. They will help you fill out an application and answer all your questions.

On the State Services website

This is the easiest way to save a lot of time. Online - through the government services portal. It is understood that the future spouses are confident Internet users and will be able to independently find the necessary electronic resource. On the government services website you will have to fill out all the fields yourself. The advantage of this solution: you don’t have to go anywhere or face difficulties. If we are talking about a large city, time is saved, there is no need to stand in traffic jams.

Thus, in order to correctly register relationships, you need to know the relevant laws and try not to violate them. Even if it means a non-ceremonial painting in the registry office (without a banquet), you should take the procedure seriously. This day will be remembered for a long time. In the regions of the country, the nuances may vary, but the principle is the same.

The procedure for registering a marriage without a ceremony

Non-solemn registration of marriage is carried out exclusively in registry offices. The couple needs to appear on the appointed day and time at the civil registry office without delay. The specialist will invite you to the office, where the procedure for registering a family union will take place.

How does registration work:

1. The bride and groom give their passports to the registry office employee.
2. The specialist checks the document data and prints out the marriage registration certificate.
3. A short speech is made and a standard question about consent to marry is asked.
4. If each party responds positively, the registry office employee puts marriage registration stamps in the newlyweds’ passports.
5. The couple signs in a special registration book.
6. The newlyweds are given a marriage certificate and their passports are returned.

Duration of the procedure

Non-ceremonial marriage registration takes no more than 10-15 minutes.

How does the ceremonial registration take place?

It is extremely rare that the ceremonial registration of marriage at the registry office is allowed on some days of the week other than Friday and Saturday. As a rule, it is on these days that a solemn marriage ceremony is held, and only some wedding palaces can make exceptions. The procedure itself takes no more than half an hour and usually several couples can be seen near the registry office at once, since there is practically no time between registrations, especially on the most popular dates for weddings.

So, when the bride and groom, in full “parade”, accompanied by a company of guests, arrived at the Wedding Palace, then a completely standard algorithm of actions awaits them for all couples:

• before the ceremony, the bride and groom put their signatures in the Record Book;
• then they have time for preparation and a photo shoot in a special room for couples, while guests are escorted to the registration hall;
• future newlyweds are invited into the hall to the registration table, where a wedding towel is laid out in front of them by witnesses, on which they must stand and give their consent to enter into a marriage;
• after the solemn speech of the registrar, the spouses put their signatures, receive a marriage certificate, exchange rings, drink champagne and “fix” this touching moment with the first marital kiss;
• the newlyweds approach the guests who can congratulate them;
• The newlyweds are the last to leave the registry office through the “corridor” of guests, the man carries his wife in his arms.

This concludes the solemn registration of marriage at the registry office, and the newlyweds will have a walk and many wedding traditions and rituals.

Unfortunately, the condition of the buildings where marriages are registered leaves much to be desired. A few registry offices can be called modern and beautiful, but a gloomy interior with shabby walls and dusty artificial flowers will definitely not add a romantic atmosphere. Therefore, more and more often, couples give preference to outdoor painting, the price of which, of course, is somewhat higher, but the sensations from such a ceremony are completely different.

outdoor ceremony at the registry office

The advantages of an outdoor ceremony are obvious:

• it can last as long as the heroes of the occasion want;
• the place can be decorated completely at your discretion;
• what is included in the ceremony depends on the budget, if it allows, you can put on a real show.

An outdoor marriage registration ceremony does not have to be organized in a restaurant. And, if you order such a service, then why not make your own wedding original and extraordinary? In recent years, it has been very fashionable to get married in the sky, under water, underground, etc. For more down-to-earth people, there are also many places where the ceremony can take place, other than a restaurant. You can order registration in the autumn forest, playing with yellow and red colors, or on the pier during sunset. It all depends on how the bride and groom imagine the happiest day of their lives. However, they still can’t bypass the registry office, since they will have to put real signatures in the registration register.

Differences between non-ceremonial painting and ceremonial painting

To make a final decision regarding your upcoming holiday, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the differences between one ceremony and another. So:

• non-ceremonial painting is quite affordable , and you will only have to spend money on the state fee. Indeed, in this case there are no classical traditions regarding appearance and other accessories. You do not need money for a chic wedding dress, a bride’s bouquet, a photographer and a cameraman; if you wish, you can even do without wedding rings, since they are not fixed at the legislative level;
• The advantage of a modest wedding will be the speed of the procedure , just a few minutes and you are free;
• non-ceremonial registration can easily be postponed to another day , which will be more difficult to do with a ceremonial one, because there is more demand for it and therefore everything may simply already be occupied;
• in the case of a non-celebratory event , there will be some difficulties with guests , namely who to invite to the registry office and who not, because the number of people is limited, and someone may be offended. Often no one is invited to a regular painting, which is understandable, because those invited will still have to wait in the corridor;
• during a non-ceremonial registration there will be an informal atmosphere , which will certainly appeal to people who do not like increased attention and traditional wedding fuss;
• solemn implies a touching and romantic moment , beautiful speeches from government employees, congratulations, flowers, poems, Mendelssohn's waltz, and in the Palace even a beautiful dance is possible after the painting;
• Your elderly relatives and people of the old school will most likely not appreciate the modest event;
• many acquaintances may begin to discuss behind your back the reasons for the lack of a magnificent wedding;
• interesting traditions, gifts, congratulations from loved ones are absent when choosing a non-ceremonial option, although many still celebrate the holiday with relatives and friends after the painting, sometimes even arrange a beautiful away registration with vows and dancing until the morning.

Carrying out the ceremony

You must first discuss the type of procedure to be carried out with the civil registry office employees. The wedding ceremony involves the following course of events:

1. The newlyweds go to rooms intended separately for the bride and groom. Relatives and friends may be present with them to provide moral support.
2. When the appointed time arrives, the bride and groom meet in front of the doors of the hall, and the invitees stand behind them.
3. To the sounds of Mendelssohn's wedding march, the newlyweds approach the registrar's desk. They listen to the speech of the registry office employee, in which they are congratulated on a significant event in their lives.
4. The registrar asks the bride and groom alternately for consent. After an affirmative answer, he declares them husband and wife and offers to wear wedding rings lying on a special pillow.
5. Young people put their signatures in a special magazine.
6. Guests are invited to congratulate the newlyweds.

After the end of the official part, you should go to a special hall, where the assembled guests can drink champagne to the health of the newlyweds. To capture these exciting moments, they resort to the services of a photographer.

The ceremony lasts 30-60 minutes, and the registration itself takes 10-15 minutes.

After painting at the registry office, the newlyweds can go for a walking photo shoot or to a place to celebrate the occasion.

What to wear

One of the main questions that especially worries brides is, of course, what to wear to a non-formal marriage ceremony. In principle, there is no dress code in this case, and you can easily come in simple casual clothes that correspond to the limits of decency, of course.

Often couples dress in the same style and color scheme. One of the original examples could be a look consisting of jeans and white T-shirts with prints or with cool inscriptions: “My husband”, “My wife”, “I love my husband”, “I love my wife”, “The best husband in the world”, “The best in wife in the world" and the like. Often a girl complements this look with a veil, which looks appropriate and interesting.

It will look good on the bride:

• long or short sundress;
• Evening Dress;
• a set consisting of a skirt and blouse;
• Fashionable options today are suits with trousers or overalls.

It is also possible to choose any color of the outfit; both pastel colors and brighter ones look great.
Men who do not like formal formal suits will like trousers combined with a shirt; if desired, the look can be complemented with a vest, tie or bow tie.

Advice. Jeans with a non-classical jacket look stylish and modern.

If after the painting you have a photo shoot planned or an off-site registration, then nothing prevents you from coming in wedding dresses.

Recently, more and more couples are giving up lavish weddings, large feasts, a huge number of guests, expensive limousines, long photo shoots, old-fashioned traditions and other classic rules and formalities, preferring a simplified wedding procedure and the desire to spend money only on themselves. Remember, this is your day and it is up to you to decide what the celebration will be like.

Is it necessary to invite witnesses to the wedding ceremony?

At one time in the not too distant past, the presence of two witnesses was mandatory.
They signed the relevant documents and were present at the main moments of the wedding ceremony.

Today such a tradition may not be followed. This will not in any way affect the fact of marriage registration and the receipt of the appropriate certificate by the newlyweds.

Witnesses are allowed to participate in the ceremony, although they are not required to sign documents. In addition, they are entrusted with the main organizational issues, assistance to the newlyweds and carrying out various traditional actions:

• organization of the bride's ransom and other events that take place before registration;
• partial implementation of the celebration. This is very important, since during the event the future spouses worry and the general bustle does not allow them to control everything that happens;
• safety of documents, rings and other important items during the event, etc.

The role and need for witnesses today is determined only by the people getting married themselves, since the legislation does not provide any recommendations in this regard.

How does informal registration work?

Saturday and Friday are the days when marriage ceremonies take place. On what days and how much it costs to simply register a marriage at the registry office, you need to check on the spot, since the work schedule of such institutions in each city may differ. But most often it is possible to get married on a regular working day, when it is convenient for the young. The procedure itself is simplified as much as possible and resembles a business meeting and the signing of an agreement, that is, there will be no touching music or fiery speech from the registrar. Everything will happen like this:

• the couple gives their passports to the head of the registry office for registration;
• an act record is formed on a special form;
• the newlyweds put their signatures on the marriage certificate, which is certified with the seal and signature of the person authorized to issue the document;
• the passports of the spouses are stamped with the date of marriage;
• Finally, the couple puts their signatures in the registration register.

In essence, a non-ceremonial painting only means that within the walls of the registry office, the newlyweds are not obliged to show pomp, that is, outfits, guests, a photographer and music - there are no conditions for all this within the walls of a small working room, but no one forbids organizing this outside the institution .

Emergency painting

There are circumstances that can speed up the processing of your application. If there are documents confirming these circumstances, you are required to sign up within 1 to 5 days after their submission.

You are eligible for expedited registration if:

• the bride is pregnant (valid if the pregnancy is more than 10 weeks, and with a certificate from a gynecologist);
• there is a danger to the life of one of the future spouses (serious illness or, for example, a contract in a hot spot);
• one of the newlyweds will have to go on a long business trip (diplomat, military man, astronaut);
• the couple has just had a child (in this case, registering the marriage makes it easier to register paternity).

Sign on the day of application

In addition to the above examples for reducing the waiting period after submitting an application, there are several other good reasons. One of them is that one of the future spouses is sent on an urgent and long-term business trip. Employees of the oil processing industries, sailors, and truck drivers are especially welcome to meet young people.

Collect as many supporting documents as possible from your place of work. The more detailed and reliable the submitted papers are, the greater your chances of signing on the day of application.

If you are sure that you have irrefutable evidence of the urgency of marriage, feel free to contact the registry office managers. Situations can be different and, perhaps, management will understand your position and give orders to schedule it in the next few hours.

What to do if urgent marriage registration is denied

Expedited marriage registration can be refused only on specific grounds provided for by the federal law “On Civil Status Acts”.

In what cases can they refuse:

1. The couple did not provide the full set of required documentation.
2. At the time of filing the application, the bride or groom is in a registered marriage with another person.
3. The state duty has not been paid or errors have been identified in the details where the payment was sent.
4. Future spouses do not have Russian citizenship.
5. The application was submitted by minor citizens who have not received permission to marry or do not have compelling reasons to formalize the relationship. You can read about the age of marriage in the Russian Federation here.
6. Incapacity of one of the parties to the marriage.
7. The application was submitted while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
8. A close relationship between the spouses has been established.
9. There are no compelling reasons to register a marriage in an accelerated manner.

If a couple has submitted an application in accordance with the established procedure and rightfully demands quick registration of a family union, but the registry office has received a refusal, they can appeal this decision in court.

Cancellation of registration

If circumstances such that the wedding was postponed or canceled for some reason, the couple can always withdraw their application. The procedure can be performed by the bride and groom together or separately from each other.

For those cases where the application was submitted by the couple in person, you will need to visit the institution again and write a refusal on a special form. You will need to take your passport with you. The application form for the return of documents can be taken directly from the registry office or downloaded on the Internet.

The fee paid to the state treasury is not refunded.

After the couple has refused to register the marriage, they can fill out a new application again.

When sending an application for marriage registration via the Internet, you can simply call the registry office and tell them about the available date. Many couples choose to simply not show up on the appointed day. There are no penalties or liability for such an act.

Additional information on the topic in the video:

What happens if the bride and groom don't come on the wedding day

There are no serious legal consequences for future spouses if one or both of them fail to appear at the registry office.

This does not threaten them with an administrative fine or any other type of punishment.

However, in both cases, registration will not be carried out and the marriage will not be concluded.

The further course of action is assumed depending on the grounds and reasons for failure to appear:

1. if they are respectful and the future spouses have not changed their minds about entering into an alliance, then they will have to go through the whole process from the very beginning;
2. if one of the interested parties does not want to enter into a family relationship, no additional action will be required.

In the first case, the entire registration procedure begins with the initial step. Applying for an application, waiting for the deadline and setting a wedding date are steps that have to be completed again when the same couple applies again. That is why it is advisable to avoid such situations, so as not to delay the ceremony.

As a result, when applying to the registry office, you must have a passport and a number of other additional documents with you. However, even when concluding an alliance, you will first need an identity document. In case of loss or loss, the process will not take place, as well as in the case of failure of one or more newlyweds to appear on the appointed day.

Marriage registration: necessary documents and customs

Official Marriage Registration is usually a solemn ceremony that is held with the aim of giving the relationship an official status and, in connection with this, involves some formalities with documents. When registering a marriage, the authorized body (registry office) makes an entry in the civil register and the newlyweds are issued a document called “Marriage Registration Certificate”. According to this certificate, the newlyweds, from the date of marriage registration, are husband and wife, and acquire certain rights and obligations established by both legislation and moral standards. Marriage registration usually takes place in a solemn atmosphere in which, in addition to the newlyweds and a representative of the registry office, their parents take part , witnesses and guests. But there are cases when registering a marriage requires only a formal entry in the civil register. In both cases, marriage registration includes interesting moments and events that accompany folk wedding signs, some of which we will describe below, but now let’s see what you need to have with you for this event.

Documents and items required for marriage registration

A set of documents that must be taken to register a marriage: - Passports of the spouses - Certificate of TIN assignment - Receipt for payment of the state fee - Application

When registering a marriage, you must have the following items with you: - Wedding rings - Wedding loaf - Wedding towel - Champagne and glasses - Sweets - Rose petals - pillows for rings Depending on what kind of marriage registration you will have (on-site or in the registry office), a list of necessary items items can be significantly expanded, for example, for off-site registration you will need attributes related to the style and location of the registration, for example, a lei will not be superfluous if you have a tropical-style wedding. It should be noted that the price in the case of on-site registration will differ significantly from the registration in the registry office, which is limited only to the payment of the state fee and, in some cases, remuneration for the orchestra. So, in particular, the cost of field registration in Moscow ranges from 10,000 (it includes the standard package) to 50,000 rubles. In addition, one should distinguish between stylized on-site registration, which can take place under a snow-white tent in the lap of nature, from official on-site registration, which can only be carried out in strictly designated places for this event: palaces, estates, museums to which one or another registry office is assigned. Based on this, we can conclude that official registration, with all its luxury, is not always good - you will be limited by the number of guests depending on the size of the hall and will not be able to drink champagne since, for example, this is prohibited in museums.

Signs and customs associated with marriage registration

— Before the marriage is registered, the bride and groom must receive the blessing of both parents. If someone does not have a father or mother, the two of them must definitely visit the grave of the deceased parent in order to secure his blessing. - In order to save family life from troubles and misfortunes, the bride, on the day on which the marriage registration is planned, must distribute money to those asking from the church. This is how she conveys her difficult fate, and troubles will come to those who took the money. — During registration at the Wedding Palace, as well as in the church when the wedding takes place, godparents should be next to the bride and groom. It is believed that they should be present during all important events and wedding ceremonies. But parents should only bless their children for this important step and greet the newlyweds with bread and salt on the threshold of the house or the place where the celebration will take place. When escorting the wedding procession to the wedding or painting ceremony, parents seem to close it in a protective circle. The meaning of this wedding sign is that if they get into one of the cars in the motorcade, the circle will open. — As wedding signs say, the bride must take her husband’s surname when registering her marriage. So the husband, as it were, takes her under his protection energetically. Otherwise, it often happens that women’s health noticeably deteriorates. — According to ancient tradition, when the marriage is registered, the newlyweds stand on a special wedding towel. During the entire time the marriage is being registered, young people should not leave it, because it symbolizes future family life, hence the expression - they stood on a towel. After this wedding ceremony has ended, the newlyweds must get off the towel and the witnesses take it away to then give it to the newlyweds. If there is a need to leave during the marriage registration process (before the procedure is completed), then witnesses can come to the rescue (for example, bring a book to the couple for painting). — While the wedding cortege is traveling to the place where the marriage will be registered and back, the bride should not walk or drive through dangerous places. Therefore, the groom takes his betrothed in his arms and carries the bride across a bridge, if there is one along the route of the motorcade. Also, wedding signs oblige the groom to carry the bride across the threshold of his home. We invite you to watch the video clip posted in the article about wedding surprises, about the prank that the groom arranged for the bride at the marriage registration. The site “Paradise for Women” wishes you happiness and love.

Procedure for registering a marriage in exceptional cases

The desire to speed up your marriage must be supported by documentation. In the event that you do not have documents for any reason, registration will take place according to standard rules.

Currently, a sufficient number of couples decide to get married only when they find out about pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary to consider in more detail the features of marriage registration during pregnancy.

Documents that must be brought to the registry office:

• passports of the bride and groom;
• certificate confirming pregnancy;
• an application filled out by the bride and groom.

Before submitting all documents, you must pay the state fee.

A pregnancy certificate is issued at the place of registration. The gynecologist from the antenatal clinic, with whom the bride is registered, must issue a certificate upon request. It must contain the following information: full name of the medical organization issuing the document; personal data of the woman; the duration of her pregnancy; date, doctor's signature and hospital stamp.

In this situation, the registration period is significantly accelerated. If the pregnancy is less than 5 months, then the couple can be married within 2 weeks. In the case where the pregnancy is already more than 5 months old, the newlyweds are registered within a few days after submitting the application.

Is it possible to sign on the day all documents are submitted? This could also happen. For this purpose, a certificate of pregnancy and the health status of the expectant mother is taken. If the term is very long and she is due to give birth in a few days, or something threatens her health, then the couple will be married on the same day.

Registration, as a rule, takes place in the presence of both newlyweds, but it can also occur in the presence of only one of them. This can happen when a girl suddenly goes into labor, or her husband is on a business trip. In this situation, it is necessary to provide permission certified by a notary.

Marriage cannot be registered

According to information from official government websites, changing civil status for citizens of the Russian Federation is possible in the registry office or in Wedding Palaces. It should be noted that if a couple wants to get married and is related to the following points, then it is impossible to get married on the territory of Russia:

• one of the citizens is currently in another marriage;
• the couple is related in a direct line;
• one of the spouses is the adoptive parent, and the other is the adopted one.

If your situation does not fall into any of the points, then you can safely register your marriage at the Civil Registry Office of the Russian Federation.
