How many days after submitting an application to the registry office is a couple painted?

For two loving hearts there always comes a moment when they decide to legitimize their relationship. Of course, this is an important and exciting event in life that you want to make unforgettable. On the way to getting married, a lot of questions arise before the couple. And the first of them - how long does it take to submit an application to the registry office? In this article, we will try to answer this and other important questions.

The most important life decision has been made, the moment comes to prepare for the celebration. First, you need to decide on the time, number and place of the wedding ceremony. The official part of the holiday will be held at the regional registry office or in the wedding palace. In order for everything to go according to plan, you need to know how long before the date you have determined you need to submit an application to the registry office.

In Russia, an application for marriage registration can be submitted in three different ways:

• in person, to your chosen registry office or wedding palace;
• through the Internet service "Government Services";
• by submitting an application to a multifunctional center (not available in all regions of the Russian Federation).

Depending on the path you choose to submit your application, the processing time will also vary. When you come to the registry office or the wedding palace yourself, the application is accepted no later than 1 month before the selected date and no earlier than 2 months. To do this, you must have several documents with you:

• identity document (passport);
• divorce certificate (if any);
• paid receipt of state duty;
• duly completed application;
• if there are special reasons for marriage (pregnancy, childbirth, illness of the bride or groom), they must be documented.

So, the application is submitted 1 month before the wedding date. This term is conditional, so, for example, if you applied on the 20th of this month, they will sign you up after the 20th of the next. Please note that there is a seasonal workload and the most preferred days (weekends, religious holidays), when the number of people wishing to start a family exceeds the capacity of the registry office. There is a system for booking the date and time of the wedding ceremony more than six months in advance. For more precise information about such a possibility, check with the regional offices of the Civil Registry Office.

When sending your application through the service of public services, you need a personal account on this portal. You must select the category "Family and children - starting a family - getting services online". Draw up an application form according to the proposed sample and send it. With such a submission, the spouses fill out an application each in their personal account. It should be borne in mind that with this form of filing an application, the duration of its consideration will be two and a half months.

In the future, your immediate presence may be required, then the registry office employees will contact you by phone. This type of submission of documents has become the most popular among young people. When an application is registered online, you will not sit in tedious lines and will be able to fill out the forms at any time convenient for you.

When you contact the MFC, you also fill out a standard application. It is necessary to submit it earlier than one month, because the center (MFC) only accepts documents. Then the entire package of documents that you submitted is transferred to the registry office, where it is drawn up and verified for authenticity.

Now let's dwell on the issue of document verification in more detail. According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation, the following can join the official union:

• persons who have reached the age of majority (over 16 years of age for exceptional circumstances and only with the permission of the authorities and parents);
• capable people;
• citizens who are not in an unbroken marriage;
• there should be no consanguinity and no adopted-adoptive parent relationship.

If minor children wish to enter into an official relationship, then written permission from their parents (guardians) and from local authorities is required.

There is a possibility that the registry office employees will offer a longer waiting period. This may be due to a large number of past marriages in one of the newlyweds or to seasonal workload (summer, late spring). In any case, no more than 2 months can pass from the moment of filing the application to the wedding ceremony. This period is established by law as the maximum possible for waiting for the registration of marriage.

The list of documents that will need to be submitted to the civil registry office includes:

• an application filled out according to the sample from the bride and groom about their voluntary desire to register their relationship;
• a receipt for payment of the duty for public services (approximately 350 rubles);
• if the groom or the bride was previously married, then a certificate of divorce or death of the former spouse is required.

The authenticity of the documents presented will have to be checked by the employees of the registry office within a month. It is also possible to refuse to hold the marriage ceremony if an incomplete package of documents is submitted, as well as if one of the future spouses does not appear at the ceremony. You will also be refused if one of the spouses has an unbroken marriage or if the court declares the bride or groom incapacitated.

The minimum time to process your application is one month. In reality, this period can be both reduced and increased. You have to wait longer if the newlyweds want to hold the ceremony on a certain day that is significant for them. There must be good reason to reduce waiting times. Let's look at what reasons are considered compelling enough not to wait one month.

Article 11 of the family law of the Russian Federation prescribes special conditions when the painting of a young couple can occur immediately after filing an application. In this situation, the registry office staff will need a couple of hours to check your documents.

These emergencies include:

• pregnancy of the future wife, confirmed by an extract from the outpatient card of the antenatal clinic;
• the fact of the birth of a child to future spouses (a certificate or birth certificate will be required);
• a threat to the life of one of the spouses (an extract from the medical history can serve as confirmation);

In cases where one of the newlyweds is seriously ill, the marriage is registered directly in hospitals, at the patient's bedside. This procedure may be prohibited by hospital staff. In any case, before arranging such events, you need to obtain the official permission of the head physician and the head of the department.

Sometimes insurmountable circumstances prevent the newlyweds from entering into an alliance on the chosen day. Then it is possible to postpone the date of painting. Remember that the postponement of the celebration is possible for no more than six months. If this period is not enough, it will be recognized that the applicants refuse to enter into a marriage union. If in the future you still decide to legalize your relationship, all documents will need to be resubmitted.

After a month of waiting, on the day you specify, the marriage is registered. There are two options: solemn and non-holiday painting. During the solemn registration of the bride and groom, they paint in specially decorated halls of the registry office or in palaces of culture rented for this. The spouses-to-be can invite guests to this ceremony. A solemn speech will be delivered and congratulations will be brought to the newlyweds.

Let's summarize. The wait after submitting the application will last at least a month. The exact term will be set by the registry office employees, but it cannot exceed 2 months. It is also possible to reduce the waiting time. In exceptional cases, they are scheduled on the day the application is submitted.But no one will take your word for it. Any possibility of reducing the monthly registration wait must be documented. In some especially popular departments of the registry office and wedding palaces, there is a booking system for more than six months.
