Getting married is a happy moment in the life of every person, because this decision was made by two people in love. Submitting an application for painting is akin to some kind of sacrament.
But there are situations in life when it is necessary to cancel a special event and take away the marriage registration agreement.
There can be many reasons for this. For example, they want to postpone the wedding due to the illness of the bride or groom, or one of the relatives. A stressful situation or a change in financial situation may also be a reason to cancel an event.
And it happens that young people simply quarrel, or realize that they made a hasty decision. Failed newlyweds are wondering how to pick up an application for marriage registration from the registry office, whether it is possible to do this at all, and whether penalties will be applied to them by government employees.

Procedure
There are situations when a couple hastened to submit an application to the registry office to register their marriage. We are often asked how to pick him up in such a situation.
There is sometimes advice on the Internet that you can simply not come to the wedding procedure and everything will be fine. This can also be done.
Example 1: Anna decided that she did not want to marry Andrey. But the problem is that there were only 2 days left before the wedding. As a result, Anna did not apply for cancellation, but simply did not appear at the registry office on the appointed day. Naturally, the marriage was not registered. But no one will return the state duty to the newlyweds in such a situation.
And, of course, you should just respect other people’s time. After all, someone could plan a wedding for this day and get married instead of you. Remember that you can refuse to register a marriage on any day when your registry office is open.
If you have firmly decided that you do not want a wedding, follow our recommendations. Below we have outlined for you an approximate procedure:
In order to comply with the law, it is not necessary to come to the registry office together; any of you can do this of your own free will and alone.
- Before withdrawing your application, warn your partner of your intention. This condition is not mandatory and is not regulated by law, but this step will help avoid unpleasant situations in the future. Such a step on your part will help maintain a good relationship with your failed spouse.
- After this, you need to meet with a registry office employee , who will ask you a few questions. Tell her that you want to write a refusal to register the marriage. You can indicate absolutely any reason, for example, that you changed your mind or decided to postpone the wedding date a year ahead. You don’t have to specify a reason at all if you don’t want to.
- When filling out, please indicate the details of the application that you submitted jointly. Such details include the date of acceptance, registration number of the application, data of both spouses.
- In the upper left corner, indicate the registry office office to which you are writing the refusal. You can also ask an employee for a sample to fill out.
- Hand over the documents to the civil registry office employee and wait until she makes a note in the special record book. Remember that you must take your passport with you, otherwise they will not be able to help you. Now you can do whatever you want.
But at present, the application itself may not even be given to you, since it is sent to the archives.
How to cancel a wedding alone?
To cancel a wedding you must follow these steps:
- at any convenient time (of course, during the opening hours of the institution) personally go to the registry office where the application was submitted. You need to have your passport with you;
- Contact a branch employee to register a refusal. You will be given a form to fill out. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to answer the employee’s possible questions about the reasons for canceling the wedding: you have the right to both give explanations and refuse them;
- carefully fill out the application, paying special attention to the correct name and address of the department, passport details, as well as details of the previously submitted document for marriage (details can be obtained from a civil registry office employee);
- Give the completed refusal to the department employee and wait until he checks all the data and makes the appropriate entry in a special book.
In principle, the procedure for canceling a marriage is extremely simple and does not take much time.

Written request by mail
A situation often arises when no one wants to go to the registry office to pick up an application for marriage registration.
This happens because the bride and groom stop communicating or they accumulate grievances.
In the end, no one wants to come back on this issue because the wedding has already been cancelled.
And it also happens that the newlyweds go to different cities and there is no one to go to the registry office where the documents were submitted.
But even in such a situation, the issue can be resolved; to do this, you need to send a letter demanding the return of the application. The following documents must be included in the letter:
- A statement in which you need to indicate your request for the return of the application. It can be written in free form or you can download it from our website.
- A copy of your passport, which must be notarized. This is very important, otherwise your request may be ignored.
You can see a sample of how to write such a request.
At the top, write down which registry office and on whose behalf you are asking to return the application. There, indicate your passport details and telephone number to contact you so that employees can clarify additional questions.
Next, ask to cancel the marriage registration procedure, provide information about the bride and groom. Since any of the newlyweds can submit such a request, it will be enough to attach only a copy of your passport.
After this, send the documents by registered mail with notification.
And many newlyweds do not want to go in person or send a letter. The maximum they are ready to do is call the registry office employees and resolve all issues over the phone.
But it will not be possible to cancel the wedding this way, because the workers do not know and cannot determine who called them. Maybe it's not the bride at all, but another lover who wants to destroy your relationship.
Is it necessary to withdraw an application if you change your mind about registering a relationship?
If it is impossible to personally visit the registry office to formalize a refusal to register a marriage or send documents by mail, citizens are concerned about the responsibility for failure to notify the employees of the wedding palace.
The legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for penalties for refusal of the ceremony. If the couple who was supposed to register did not show up, the procedure will be cancelled.
Important! The moral aspect should be taken into account: there are many people who want to register their relationship, and a timely refusal gives other couples the opportunity to plan a celebration at an earlier date.
A couple who does not come to the procedure for registering their relationship loses the paid state fee.

Is it possible to re-apply for marriage registration?
Our life is a very changeable thing. Today you wanted to marry one person, then you changed your mind and decided to formalize your relationship with another. We have already found out how to pick up the application, but is it possible to immediately submit documents for a wedding with someone else?
You can, but you will have to pay the state fee again to submit a new application. Moreover, they will not give you any discount; the amount will be 350 rubles.
And if you decide to arrange everything online, then you may have to wait a little. The fact is that on the government services website all information is stored electronically in a single database.
Also remember that you can resubmit documents to any registry office in Russia; you do not have to take them to the same office as the first time.
After you have received the application, the registry office employee must send this information to the public services service. But we cannot say how quickly he will do it.
Sometimes everything is done in 5 minutes, and sometimes you have to wait several days for the information to be updated.
Resubmission of documents after refusal of marriage
According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, after registration of a refusal to marry, in order to conclude it, a re-submission of an application with a request to hold the ceremony is required.
The exception is situations where the decision of the potential spouses was changed within a few hours. Civil registry office employees may make concessions and agree to register a marriage on the old date. The success of the case depends both on the personal attitude of the workers and on the prevailing circumstances: the date could have already been planned by other spouses, or the employees of the wedding palace managed to issue a refusal to register the union on the appropriate government service.
Bad sign
It is believed that withdrawing an application is a bad omen, as it will be difficult to get married again. But statistics say the opposite: 83% of girls have a new wedding.
Psychologists explain it this way: when you want to refuse marriage with a person, it means you are not completely sure of him.
And as a rule, there are reasons for this that you may not even realize. Therefore, if you have such a thought, you should not think about signs, but rather think about whether it will be good for you to live with this person.
In many cases, girls withdraw their application and find a better husband.
But if everything is fine with you, you want to live together and raise children, but you don’t have money for a wedding - just sign at the registry office. Now 35% of newlyweds do this.
You can gather with a very close circle of friends and acquaintances, drink champagne, buy salads and drink tea and cake. Even 1000 rubles may be enough for such a celebration.
There is also a situation when it is necessary to pick up a divorce application from the registry office. We noticed that some sites write incorrect information about this. Remember, either spouse can pick up a divorce application from the registry office. And he can do it on his own. It is not necessary to come together. If the husband or wife takes the documents, then the divorce procedure will not take place. To carry it out, you will need to go to court.
Where to go to cancel a marriage?
Failed newlyweds can apply to cancel the wedding date only to the territorial department of the registry office to which they submitted an application for registration of marriage relations.
Another department will refuse to accept the application.
But you can apply to start a family with another person in another department of the registry office, regardless of whether or not there is a decision on refusal from another institution.
Remember the main thing:
- You can pick up the application at any time before the wedding, the main thing is that it is a working day at the registry office.
- The bride and groom can withdraw the application; there is no need to explain the reasons.
- If you cannot come in person, send the notification by registered mail with notification.
- Once the application has been withdrawn, it is almost impossible to return the state fee.
- The fee can only be returned through the court if there are compelling reasons, for example the death of the second spouse.
Is it necessary to visit the registry office in person?
Despite the fact that the law limits the time spent in line at the registry office - no more than 15 minutes - in reality you have to wait much longer. There are days when, even before the opening of the institution, a live queue forms on the street, which has been previously formed for several months. Perhaps the wedding was planned in another city, or a personal visit to the registry office is undesirable for other reasons.
If documents for marriage were sent by mail, via Internet services or a multifunctional center, this does not eliminate the need to appear at the registry office in person.
The only case when you don’t have to visit the registry office is to send a notarized refusal to marry by mail.
Questions and answers
Natalya My boyfriend and I submitted an application to the registry office to register our marriage. Then I left for a session for several weeks. The wedding was supposed to take place just after all the exams. But yesterday he called me and said that he wanted to break up. Tell me, can he alone take our application?
Answer Yes, either spouse can withdraw the application from the registry office. At the same time, you will not have to explain why you changed your mind and changed your decision. Marriage in our country is voluntary.
Marina I submitted an application to the registry office with one man 3 weeks ago. But I thought and thought for a long time and realized that I didn’t love him at all. But I truly love someone else. Now we want to get married to him. Can I submit a new application with this person, although I already submitted an application with someone else 3 weeks ago?
Answer Until you are officially married, you can submit as many applications as you want.
Do I need my partner's consent to withdraw an application from the registry office?
Is it possible to pick up an application from the registry office alone to register a marriage? - also one of the important and frequently asked questions. This question is quite logical, because the documents were submitted jointly.
According to the law, no one can forcefully marry; if there is no consent of one of the newlyweds, then the marriage will not be registered. That is why it is not necessary to notify the second participant in the procedure. You can contact the registry office yourself and pick up a request for marriage registration.
After receiving the documents, the couple who decides to formalize their relationship is given one month of reflection. This month is foreseen for such situations. People should consider whether they are doing the right thing, and if they change their mind, cancel the already registered request.
Of course, whether or not to tell your future spouse about your new decision is a personal matter, but taking into account the fact that along with the application at the registry office you often have to leave your passports for a stamp, your potential spouse should also pick up a personal document. If you do not say that you have received the application, he will continue to wait for registration without taking your passport. The loss of an identity document will become a much bigger problem than your refusal to enter into an official marriage.
Now you know whether it is possible to withdraw an application from the registry office and how to do it. You shouldn’t listen to your grandmother’s omens that once you take one application from the registry office, then it’s difficult to get married, this is nonsense. According to statistics, 85% of people who collected applications from the registry office with one person successfully registered a marriage with another. Don't be afraid to change your life. If you are thinking about withdrawing the application, it means that you are not confident in your chosen one, and it is better to stop everything now than later in court a few years later, dividing property and children.
Reasons for divorce
If certain conditions are met, a claim for dissolution of a marriage union is filed exclusively in court.
These are the following circumstances:
- the reluctance of one of the spouses to dissolve the marriage;
- presence of a joint minor child;
- presence of unresolved issues regarding the division of property.
The presence of at least one of the listed conditions serves as a reason for applying for divorce only to the courts. After filing a claim, spouses are given 30 days to consider a decision. It is during this period of time that they have the right to withdraw the statement of claim and abandon the divorce process.
To implement the refusal procedure, the plaintiff must perform a certain sequence of actions:
- Appear in the court to which the application was filed.
- Draw up an application for refusal of divorce.
- Wait until the proceedings are terminated.
You do not need to collect any documents to apply to court for a refusal. Since the court hearing must be held one month after filing the claim, during this period the plaintiff has time to refuse.
- He will listen to the parties' statements about their reluctance to divorce and the arguments in favor of this decision.
- Will make a decision on preserving the family at any stage of the judicial review.
However, if the spouses have decided not to divorce, it is better not to bring the matter to a meeting. In this case, the spouse who filed the claim must apply to cancel the hearing.
If the second appeals, such an objection will not be accepted, since even if the defendant disagrees, the divorce process will take place.
Legislation
Issues of marriage and its dissolution are regulated by the Family Code of the Russian Federation, as well as.
Thus, Article 12 of the RF IC defines marriage as a voluntary union between a man and a woman, and also directly stipulates that no one has the right to force a citizen to take this action or prevent its abolition. In other words, the law directly provides for the impossibility of putting pressure on citizens regarding issues of starting a family.
