State duty for registration of marriage: amount and methods of payment

Almost all people strive for marriage. The first marriage, preferably the only one, is very exciting - the selection of the venue, the outfits, the guest list, and much more. Preparation is always troublesome and often expensive. But even if you do not make a magnificent celebration, in any case you will have to spend a certain amount. What you need to pay for sure is the state fee. It is worth considering in more detail all the options.

The state duty for registering a marriage is practically unchanged from year to year. Its price is low, so if the matter does not go beyond the wedding ceremony itself, I mean a walk, a banquet, etc., then the wedding will cost you 350 rubles. It is this amount that must be paid in the current year in order for the marriage to be registered. Hurry up to pay it before submitting your application. And also your task is to choose a registry office in which the marriage itself will be concluded. It is necessary to stand in line in the office of records in order to choose the day and time of the list. Until this moment, it is already worth paying the fee.

In addition to arriving at the registry office on your own, you can apply in several other ways. The function has been operating not so long ago, but it has already received wide recognition among future newlyweds - either submit an application through the nearest MFC, or through the website of State Services. In time it will, of course, be faster. But there is a small disadvantage - aesthetic. When applying to the registry office itself, young people are given a beautiful invitation letter with a time stamp and place of marriage. When registering through other systems, there will be no such beautiful paper.

Running a little ahead, it is worth noting that if you pay the fee through the website of the State Services, you can save 30%... That is, by paying the amount for one person, the savings will be 105 rubles. Therefore, the savings for two is 210 rubles. In this context, the discount is not bad.

Usually, at least a month and no more than two and a half are given to prepare for the wedding. If your scheduled date is set during this period, then feel free to apply. In any case, the marriage will not be concluded earlier than in a month. And, regardless of what the application was submitted through, in any case, you can sign only at the registry office or in the presence of the registry office employees. There are a number of good reasons, which are spelled out in the law, to register a marriage earlier than the due date. In rare exceptions, a marriage can be registered even on the same day. Some of these reasons include the bride's pregnancy, a serious illness of one of the spouses, or the birth of a child.

The solemn wedding ceremony requires the necessary documents. It is not difficult to collect them, but still, when serving, you need to be fully prepared. The list of documents is as follows:

• passport or any other document proving your identity;
• written agreement of both spouses about their intention to marry (written in the registry office);
• if you were previously married, you will need a divorce certificate;
• if the marriage is between minor citizens, then permission is required from the parents or guardians;
• receipt of payment of state duty.

It is not difficult to collect the necessary documentation. It is worth considering in more detail the last item of the list of documents - payment of the state fee, size, etc.

First, it is worth considering where and how to pay. At the registry office they give you a form for payment. After the form, you can pay at the terminal located directly in the registry office. True, this service is currently possible only in large cities and the main offices of the registry office. In addition to the payment terminal at the registry office, the duty can be paid at any branch of Sberbank. It is easy to do this by following the prompts on the screen, or you can use the help of a consultant. If the queue at the registry office and the bank, again, does not appeal to you, then the receipt can be downloaded and then paid with an online card. You will be issued a check, you will need to print it.

It is worth considering in more detail how to pay. In the receipt issued or downloaded, you fill in all the required details. If you get the receipt in your hands, then, most likely, the requisites will already be hammered in by the registry office and you will only have to retype them correctly. In the Sberbank-online application, you can also make a payment easily and simply. The money will go from the card. If you are the owner of an electronic wallet, then payment is also made through it. To do this, you need to select "Payment by details". After entering the details, a password should come to the phone, your task will be to enter it.

The fee must be paid before submitting the application and documents to the registry office. Documents will simply not be accepted without duty, you will have to urgently run and transfer funds according to the details or do it in the way that is more convenient at the moment. Please note that a commission applies to some payment methods. Its size is always different and is indicated in the payment system. But it should not exceed 30 rubles.

Unfortunately, there is a chance to make some mistake when paying the state fee. If you enter the wrong number, then the money goes to the wrong account.Returning them is quite a chore. A statement is written in which the situation is described, then the bank gives a return period. Often, after such a payment, payers simply do not contact this procedure. But here we are talking about the bank.

If payment was made through another terminal or State Service, then the algorithms are different. It is necessary, of course, to write a statement, call the authorities at the indicated numbers on the checks, prove that the transfer was intended for other details. The state duty is valid for three years. If for some reason you made a payment, but the application was not submitted, then save the receipt and feel free to appeal to them within three years.

The errors include the amount of payment. If you entered a number at least one ruble less than you should, then your receipt will be considered invalid. We'll have to go and pay extra ruble, repeating again the procedure for entering details and other commands. If the payment is higher, then this is no longer scary. The receipts will be accepted, but then you will have to return the money using the methods described above.

And, of course, it is a gross mistake to forget the check. The check is a guarantee that the fee has been paid and you will be able to apply. You must attach it to the receipt, and then give it to the registry office employees. Otherwise, they will not know that you actually paid the state fee. If, after paying through the terminal, he did not give you a check for some reason, you must definitely contact a specialist. If you did not pay through a bank, you are still required to print the check and attach it to the printed receipt.

The state duty must be formalized for future newlyweds. If someone else pays for it, then he should enter your data. If the data is of a stranger, then it will not be possible to return the money for paying the state duty, and the payment will have to be made on a new one. In principle, there should be no other payment errors. Pay close attention to the entered values ​​in order to avoid unnecessary headaches with statements and other documents for the return of personal funds. The state duty of both youngsters passes through one receipt. This is mandatory, otherwise the employees of the selected registry office will not accept the documents, and again you will have to go through an unpleasant return and overpayment procedure.

You need to understand what the state duty is being paid for. Young people pay for the paperwork procedure, as well as for their future marriage certificate. But there is a category of citizens who pay less. The state duty per person is 350 rubles, that is, both newlyweds pay 700 rubles. Payment for privileged categories of citizens is somewhat different. This category includes the following persons:

• veterans of the Great Patriotic War;
• poor categories of citizens;
• Knights of the Order of Glory;
• heroes of the Russian Federation and the USSR.

It is necessary to confirm your position with documents corresponding to your status. You can understand what the cost of your state duty will be if you contact the social security authorities, having received the appropriate certificate there. Social workers calculate your total income based on several factors. Payment of the general duty, not preferential, is absolutely the same throughout Russia. There is no difference in which city the spouses live. The amount of 350 rubles is unchanged.

You can free yourself from paying state fees only by resorting to the services of a court. The reason is a serious illness of one of the spouses, lack of any income, or financial difficulties. And there is also an important point - in case of a serious illness and one of the future newlyweds is in the hospital, the registry office employee must come for free at the appointed time, at the appointed place, having all the necessary documents and attributes with him, and paint the spouses according to all the canons. Medical certificates are provided in advance upon application.When you have paid the state fee and submitted all the documents, no matter which way, relax. The main thing is neither guests, nor duties, nor outfits, but your love.
