Briefly about the help
Couples who are already expecting a child at the time of marriage are not uncommon. Sometimes it happens that the already planned date of the wedding celebration has to be postponed due to the rounding of the belly and the deteriorating mood of the bride.
When the civil registry office needs to be hurried, it is necessary to provide them with a pregnancy certificate in the form established for the registry office. It is useful for a pregnant girl to obtain such a certificate, since it can be useful not only at the registry office, but also in other institutions.
Wedding during pregnancy
This document is issued at the antenatal clinic, where the woman is registered for pregnancy and childbirth.
Important! The first certificate can be obtained after 12 weeks from the date of conception, and it can be taken any number of times.
A certificate from the registry office about pregnancy will help you get married faster
This paper issued at the hospital will help speed up the registration of marriage.
A couple who has official confirmation of pregnancy (at least 21 weeks) can count on getting a signature on the same day on which they contacted the government agency.
If a formal marriage ceremony is required, the registration deadline is delayed by approximately a week. A delay in the legal registration of relations may also occur due to excessive “workload” of the registry office.
For example, in August, due to the large number of people getting married, marriage registration may be postponed for a short period until a free “window” appears. Minors at the civil registry office are also required to attend a meeting if they have a certificate of this type.

When can I sign?
Certificate of marriage from the registry office
Ordinary newlyweds get married in exactly a month or more, depending on the workload of the Wedding Palace. Having a certificate allows you to speed up this process. How quickly they can schedule it depends on the stage of pregnancy.
If the expectant mother has a term of 4-5 weeks or less, then marriage registration can be scheduled 1-2 weeks after filing the documents. If the period exceeds 4 months, then they can sign it even on the day the application is submitted.
Statement
You can schedule ahead of schedule in three cases:
- The girl is pregnant.
- There is a danger to the life of the bride or groom - he works in a hazardous industry or is seriously ill.
- The birth of a common child.
- Confirmed business trip to another region or country for a long period of time.
The simplest thing is to have a paper certificate confirming that you are in an interesting position. In order to register earlier on this basis, you need to provide a certificate to the registry office along with other papers.
Attention! In order for the registration of the relationship to be successful, you should not forget to pay in advance the state fee for changing your marital status in the amount of 350 rubles*. The form can be obtained from the registry office.
How to prepare for a serious conversation
So, you have chosen the right moment and decided to talk to your employer about everything. What should be done:
- Before the crucial meeting, make a conversation plan. You don’t need to write everything on paper, but if it’s more convenient for you (taking into account the girl’s memory and the emotional background of the pregnant woman), you can make notes on a piece of paper.
- Know your employment rights and responsibilities in advance. In case of disagreements or disputes with your boss, you must understand exactly what you can give in and what is rightfully yours.
- Depending on the communication style between subordinates and management, notify the boss in advance that you would like to talk with him. This can be done by email, through a secretary, or by approaching in person and asking for 10-20 minutes of free time.
- It would be good to take care of the candidate for your place in advance. You can even suggest to your boss that they train him before you leave. This way, you will make your boss’s job much easier, for which you will be grateful.
- After completing the dialogue, ask that all agreements be sent in writing.
Of course, this is just a rough plan. It all depends on the specific conditions and your relationship with the employer.
Why might a certificate be needed?
Certificate of change of surname from the registry office
The state provides several types of social guarantees that are provided for pregnant women. To obtain them, you need to go through many bureaucratic barriers and procedures, submit documents and simply show up at a certain place at a specified time. In order to be on time everywhere, the girl is issued a certificate, which can be submitted to:
- educational institution for providing academic leave or a simplified form of passing the test;
- place of work to switch to light work or get maternity leave;
- for the registry office to postpone the official registration of relations to an earlier date;
- for court in some cases.
Such a certificate can be issued at any stage of pregnancy at the request of the expectant mother and necessity.
Certificate form
They take such a certificate separately to prevent divorce on the initiative of a man. In this case, the document is submitted to the court and is the basis for a ban on divorce in accordance with Article 17 of the Family Code. Not only in case of pregnancy, but also within a year after the birth of the child, only a woman can file for divorce. This is how the state protects young mothers from the fate of being left alone and gives the couple a chance to restore their relationship.
The court terminates the divorce proceedings at the moment when the woman brings a certificate from the antenatal clinic, which confirms the presence of pregnancy and its duration. Regardless of the stage at which the case is at the time the document is submitted, if the woman does not agree to divorce and is in a position, then until the very moment paternity is established, the man does not have the right to divorce her.
The judge will leave the man’s application without consideration as soon as the girl’s situation and her refusal are documented. Due to newly discovered circumstances, it is possible to cancel the divorce on the basis of the provided paper. In this case, the court reviews the decision and makes a new one.
Important! Even if the court does not ask to bring such a certificate, only its presence is confirmation of the state of pregnancy and termination of the divorce process.
With all this, the pregnant woman herself can go to the registry office at any time and write an application for divorce. And during the divorce process, he also has the right to demand alimony for the unborn child and for his own maintenance for up to 3 years. A man has the right to challenge such a decision only when he has documentary evidence in his hands that he is not the father of the child.
The process of obtaining a medical certificate of pregnancy
The execution of such a document is carried out according to a single federal model and allows a woman to confirm her position with such paper anywhere in the territory of the Russian Federation.
You can get it when visiting a gynecologist and undergoing an ultrasound scan, and it will be valid until the moment of birth. Such documentation contains the woman’s full name and her status of early maternity. It is issued upon the woman’s registration to track the development of the fetus by timing and as emergency assistance is required.
By providing such paper, the girl will be able to count on receiving benefits, receiving qualified consultations from a gynecologist and other specialists, receiving easier working conditions in the workplace before going on maternity leave, as well as other purposes . It is issued only in a single copy, therefore, for reliability, several copies should be made at once and certified by a legal entity for submission to all necessary authorities.
What does the certificate look like?
Marriage registration during pregnancy
A certificate from the antenatal clinic about pregnancy is issued by the obstetrician-gynecologist with whom the woman is registered. The certificate is issued upon the first request of the expectant mother and has a prescribed template. It should look like half an A4 sheet with the clinic’s stamp on it and the following information:
- The last name, first name and patronymic of the young lady are in an interesting position.
- Full name of the medical institution.
- Date of birth of the girl.
- Pregnancy in weeks.
- The date on which the document was issued.
- Full name of the doctor, his position and signature.
Completed certificate
Attention! It is not always possible to obtain a certificate indicating the exact duration of pregnancy.
Before 12 weeks, specialists often do not conduct an ultrasound examination and cannot say the exact period, so the certificate indicates an approximate period. Most often, any period less than 12 weeks, even according to ultrasound results, is indicated as approximate. The certificate remains a document.
Can jinx it
It is believed that the first three months of pregnancy are very risky in terms of accidental abortion. It is before 12 weeks that miscarriages and frozen pregnancies most often occur, so it has long been believed that before this period a woman should not talk about her situation and should be carefully hidden from others.
As for the office environment, gossip, annoying questions and sidelong glances can begin here in the same way. And this, in turn, is stressful for you. Therefore, many women believe that they are not obliged to inform their superiors and colleagues until the very end. This attitude is wrong, first of all, because the employer has the right to find out in advance about the upcoming maternity leave and think about replacing you. You'll still have to talk about pregnancy at work someday, so don't put it off until too late.
Where can I get help?
Such an extract from a pregnant woman’s personal card can be issued not only at the medical institution where she is registered. This is the main place, but it is not always available. Where else can you get this paper:
- private clinic;
- a medical center that has the necessary work permits;
- any medical institution that has the necessary certificates and license to operate.
Such a certificate must have all the necessary marks and the seal of the organization. Which one it will be from is at the discretion of the future parents.
Who pays for maternity leave: legal subtleties
According to the law of the Russian Federation, every pregnant woman who officially gets a job has the right to maternity leave. Do not confuse maternity leave with parental leave. The duration of this rest period is 140 calendar days (70 before childbirth and 70 after), in cases where the pregnancy is multiple, the duration of leave increases to 194 days (84 days before childbirth and 110 days after), in case of complicated childbirth, postpartum leave cannot be less 86 days.
When should I bring a pregnancy certificate to work? It doesn’t matter when exactly you notified your superiors about your pregnancy, since the required leave is granted for a period of 30 weeks, it would be more correct to provide the appropriate certificate and personal statement well before the expected period.
So, who pays for maternity leave? All benefits and payments to pregnant women and women who have recently given birth are paid not by the employer, but by the Social Insurance Fund (SIF).
How to spot counterfeit paper
It is important to obtain this document, which may be suitable as a basis for the place of requirement. Some private medical centers may issue falsified papers and charge money for it.
How to spot a fake and avoid scammers:
- The handwritten text is not written clearly.
- Stamps are unreadable or blurred by water.
- Graphic or text information is incorrectly located on the form.
- The form is the wrong size.
- The date on which the certificate was registered is not indicated.
- Document number not specified.
- The seal is not “live”, but printed on a printer.
- Non-existent data is provided - the name of a doctor who does not work in the institution, or the wrong address of the hospital.
The form of the paper received must be standard, with all marks and seals. Otherwise, it will not be accepted at the place of request and you will have to do it again, only in a different place. This document is for reference only, but with its help you can get benefits, take time off from work to go to the hospital, or get married ahead of schedule.
The validity of the certificate is not limited - it is valid from the moment of issue until the birth of the child, when the pregnant woman loses her status and acquires a new one.
