What documents will you need to provide?
A request to register a marriage union requires a minimum package of documents. Married couples must prepare and submit the following papers to the authorized MFC inspector:
- originals of civil passports of both partners, valid at the time of application;
- a notarized power of attorney to perform actions on behalf of one of the future spouses (in the absence of a person);
- a statement signed by both partners using a special template;
- divorce certificates (if one of the partners was previously married);

How long will it take to register through the MFC?
Receiving documents for registration of marriage through the MFC may take a very short time - 15-20 minutes, after which the application is sent for verification within the strictly established time frame of the Family Code - at least 30 days from the date of application.
In other words, the law prescribes choosing the wedding date itself, taking into account the necessary time frame for verifying the legal capabilities of the spouses within 1 month - according to standard conditions.
In some cases, the Family Code allows for the possibility of accelerated registration in less than 30 days (and even on the day of filing the application) in the presence of special circumstances: pregnancy of the future spouse and the birth of a child, threat to the life of one of the partners or other exceptional cases.
Options for submitting documents for marriage registration
If previously, to carry out this legal procedure, a couple had to contact a specialized institution (registry office), today Russians already have several options available for submitting documents to register a marriage.
In addition to visiting the registry office, you can also submit applications online through the State Services portal, as well as by contacting the MFC. Let's consider the features of the marriage procedure through a multifunctional center.
Conditions for submitting an application to the MFC
As an alternative to visiting government services, multifunctional centers (MFCs) throughout the Russian Federation have been providing a whole range of services for documenting legal actions for several years, including accepting applications for registration of marriages.
Unlike a visit to the registry office, contacting the MFC will significantly save time on filling out documents and processing the application.
At the same time, it is necessary to understand that in carrying out legal procedures, the MFC is only an intermediary between the applicant and the government departmental service - all official decisions are authorized to be made by the relevant government body. The task of the MFC is to simplify and speed up the registration process.
At the same time, not all Russians have the opportunity to contact the MFC - the centers operate mainly only in large cities, therefore, it will be extremely inconvenient for residents of provincial settlements to apply here.
