Information about state duty

Do I need to pay a fee for registering a union at the registry office?

The specifics of registering a marriage – a civil status act – are regulated by the Federal Law of November 15, 1997 No. 143-FZ (as amended on December 27, 2018) “On Civil Status Acts.” By law, when registering a marriage, citizens are required to pay a fee to the state. The mandatory contribution is associated with any legal acts that are carried out in the registry office (you will find out where else besides the registry office you can register a marriage here).

A financial obligation in the form of payment is imposed on the event registered in the registry office. Therefore, payment of the state duty is charged to one of the participants in the process. Confirmation of contributions is a payment receipt. The civil registry office does not accept an electronic document: a printed version of payment of the state fee is required.

Preferential categories of citizens

Who does not pay the mandatory fee when applying to the registry office:

1. Heroes of the USSR and Russia.
2. Full Knights of the Order of Glory.
3. Veterans and disabled people of the Second World War.
4. Former concentration camp prisoners and WWII prisoners of war.

To receive services on preferential terms, these categories of citizens provide, in addition to a Russian passport, a certificate of the established form.

Information about those who are exempt from paying state duty upon marriage is indicated in Article 333.39 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. According to the law, payment is not charged to individuals who receive a corrected marriage certificate in which an error was made through the fault of a registry office employee.

The issuance of a certificate of union is paid for by one of the spouses . The cost of the service depends on whether the newlyweds order a formal ceremony or opt for the classic version.

No ceremony

Article 333.26 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation states that upon marriage, one of the spouses pays 350 rubles. The fee is fixed and does not depend on the registration address or residence of Russian citizens. The registry office authorities do not have the right to inflate the price or demand payment from each of the future spouses.

With a solemn ceremony

If the newlyweds wish to use additional services of the registry office, an increased payment of state duty for holding the ceremony will be charged. The cost of the service depends on the city of residence and the authority to which citizens contacted.

The obligation includes:

1. The fixed fee for issuing a certificate from the registry office is 350 rubles.
2. Payment for the ceremony is at the rates of the local municipal authority.

The cost of issuing a certificate with a solemn wedding ceremony will cost citizens at least 2,000 rubles. Some civil registry offices cooperate with marriage agencies that allow on-site registration.

Price

Currently, the state fee for a wedding ceremony is set at 350 rubles. This need is spelled out in one of the articles of the tax code.

According to the rules, future spouses are required to pay this modest amount for the official registration of their family relations in the registry office. In exchange for it, you will receive papers and an application, enter registration data and apply stamps. Well, on the appointed date, a marriage certificate was issued.

Advice! You can pay with a 30 percent discount on the State Services website, where the price of such a service will be only 245 rubles.

Either a guy or a girl can make a payment. Most people are mistaken in thinking that the cost of the state duty for each person is actually for two lovers, that is, for one marriage certificate.

If we are talking about divorce, then each spouse is required to pay for this separately - 650 rubles, because two documents on the dissolution of the union will be issued, one for each.

Many registry offices in our country offer various additional services. services - photographers, champagne, on-site registrations, etc. But it is worth considering that these additions are calculated separately. You also need to know that no matter what ceremony you choose - a luxurious ceremony with guests or a modest painting for two, the size of the state duty does not change.

A special feature of this payment is the fact that the paid state fee has an unlimited validity period, unless, of course, its amount changes after some time.

If suddenly one of the lovers changes his mind about getting married, then the second one can use the check and get married to someone else. But only if the duty was in his name.

Taxes already paid will not be refunded . But if you mistakenly paid more than necessary, you can return the rest by submitting an application to the department of the Ministry of Justice at your place of residence. Note that you want to return the remaining amount, write it down, plus attach a receipt, which shows that you paid more than expected.

Your request may take quite a long time to be considered. It is also worth knowing that only those who have not yet passed three years from the date of payment of tax .

Not everyone in the Russian Federation pays for registration; for some categories of citizens this procedure is free, that is, without paying a state fee, for example, for:

• who became holders of the Order of Glory;
• participating in the Second World War;
• awarded the title of Hero of the USSR;

• received a veteran's certificate;
• Heroes of Russia.

Where can I get a receipt for payment?

It is recommended to apply for a payment order (receipt) to the registry office where the wedding ceremony is planned. Employees issue documents to pay the state fee to one of the future spouses free of charge when submitting an application. If technically possible, payment is allowed on the site.

Where can I find out the details?

Each civil registry office has its own payment details . Therefore, you should find out about them only in the branch or on the official website.
