How to submit an application to the registry office through the State Services?

Legal marriage is one of the most important decisions in the fate of every citizen. However, in a state governed by the rule of law, the birth of a new family must begin on a legal basis. In accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Family Code, the filing of an official application with the registration authorities and the procedure for concluding a marriage relationship itself must be carried out in accordance with the law.

According to government statistics, the number of people wishing to become a husband and wife in our country is constantly growing, which is why the number of queues at the doorsteps of the registry office is becoming more and more. In these circumstances, it would be most reasonable to book the desired date for the wedding ceremony using the State Services portal.

The main advantages of ordering a wedding date through State Services are:

• the ability to submit an electronic application through the online portal indicating all the necessary information without leaving your home;
• the user can, at any time convenient to him and in a comfortable environment for himself, choose what additional services he needs for registering his own wedding: a solemn ceremony, off-site registration, live music, and so on;
• the bride and groom have the opportunity to choose their favorite registry office in their region, where the registration of their relationship will take place.

The disadvantages of filing a marriage application through the State Services website include the fact that this option in our country is possible only if two circumstances are met. Firstly, the newlyweds are required to go through the mandatory registration procedure on the official Internet resource itself, and secondly, The account of the user submitting the electronic application must be confirmed in one of the possible ways, namely:

• after contacting the Customer Service Center or MFC;
• using the services of the Russian Post;
• using an electronic signature;
• on the official website of Sberbank online.

Whereas during a personal visit to the registry office, a qualified employee will first check your documents, and then issue a receipt for payment. Thus, you will not incur any financial loss. It should be recalled that such a payment has a validity period and is not refundable in case of refusal to accept the application.

Today, the implementation of these provisions is mandatory, since filling in all personal data will be required to complete an electronic application, as well as sending an invitation to your future spouse, who must confirm and double-check it. After that, the completed application will be sent to the registration service.

On the official portal of the State Services there is a specialized document of the F-7 form, intended for filing an application for marriage registration. It must be submitted one calendar month before the desired date of the ceremony. In some regions, this period may be increased up to two months. This length of time is provided so that future spouses can think about the feasibility of their decision, as well as prepare for the upcoming celebration. Moreover, if citizens decide to change their minds, the documents are returned to them without any penalties and other bureaucracy.

To legalize a relationship in an accelerated mode, it is necessary to provide, official proof of special circumstances, these include:

• spouse's pregnancy;
• the birth of a joint child;
• if one of the future spouses is sent on a long urgent business trip;
• the bride or groom has serious health problems that can be life-threatening;
• direct threat to the life of one of the spouses (the groom is sent to serve in one of the regions where hostilities are taking place)

Permission for emergency marriage is issued by the head of the registration service if the appropriate documents are available.

To submit an application to the registration authorities in electronic form, the same documents are required as for a personal visit. When filling out the document online, it will be necessary to take into account all the points required by our legislation.

Future spouses are required to have:

• documents proving their identity (passports, military ID, a certificate from the passport and visa service, if the document is being replaced or the passport of a foreign citizen with an official translation into Russian);
• if the waiting time for the wedding ceremony can be shortened, it is necessary to provide an official confirmation of the exceptional circumstances;
• a document confirming the dissolution of the previous marriage (if it took place);
• birth certificates of future spouses to indicate nationality (check with the registry office).

All documents must be submitted in their original form on the day of registration of the marriage for verification by an employee of the registration service.

By submitting an electronic application on the official services portal, the population must observe the following sequence of actions.

• Before sending an application to the registry office, you must activate your account on the official resource. Next, open the "Children and family" tab and select the "Register marriage" option.

• Carefully read all the information specified in the sheet that opens and click the "Receive service" option.

• The applicant is obliged to enter all the required personal data accurately and reliably, indicating the address of registration and place of residence (if they differ from each other). Next, enter the address of the registering authority of the registry office.

• From the proposed options, you need to choose the most appropriate institution for yourself, where you will submit an electronic application for marriage registration. This can be done much easier by marking the address on the map. Here you should leave a mark about the expediency of solemn registration.

• Next, you should choose your favorite time and date for registering your wedding.

• It is important to pay attention to the fact that it is not necessary for future spouses to fill out the following column. It must be issued to persons who were previously in other registered relationships. The names of the newlyweds after marriage registration are also indicated here. After the wedding, the husband and wife have the right to leave their premarital surname, to take the surname of the husband (wife); use a double surname, which is formed by adding the bride's surname to the groom's surname.
• Here we indicate the following order of personal data: individual SNILS number, date of birth, e-mail address of the bride (groom). Then we activate the special "Invitation" option.

• A letter should be sent to the email address of the invited user, in which, by clicking on the link, it is necessary to confirm this application.
• The invited person must go to his personal account on the official website of the State Services, where he will confirm and double-check his consent to register the relationship. Further, the possibility of online payment of the state receipt will become available. By paying for the service by bank transfer on the portal itself, users are given a bonus - 30% of the total payment. Currently, the average cost of the state duty for registering a marriage in the regions of Russia is 350 rubles, and with a discount it will be only 245 rubles.
• After the payment of the state fee is made, your application will be redirected by the system to a specific state registration service. Here she will be carefully checked by the registration service staff. If everything complies with the letter of the law, then the application will be approved and a date set.

On the wedding day, the newlyweds are required to arrive at the ceremony venue with the originals of all designated documents. The most important thing is not to forget your passport and the original receipt of payment of the state duty.

Confirmation of the legality of the application must be received by the user within one day from the date of the official invitation. This is due to the fact that the booking of the desired date and time of the ceremony can be made for no more than 24 hours.

There were cases when the user could not use the "Submit application" function to the online registration service. This can happen for a number of different reasons.

• The service is temporarily or permanently blocked by the decision of the administrative authorities of the given region of the Russian Federation. Users are usually notified of this in advance.
• Due to technical work. In this situation, you need to wait a while and then try again to apply.
• There were errors in the work of an official resource or your provider. It is necessary to wait until the portal is fully operational.

Many users are interested in the question of how you can pay the state duty on the State Services website. This payment is made on the portal itself after filling out an official application. It can be carried out using an electronic card of your bank or from an electronic wallet of one of the payment systems (in this case, the amount of commission will directly depend on your operator). If the receipt is not paid, the application will not be sent to the registering authority.

In order to correctly draw up an application to the registry office, as well as find out what list of documents you need, you can always use the State Services portal. That is why this resource is so popular among the population. However, it should be noted that if you have doubts or complex individual issues, it is recommended to consult with a professional specialist. This can also be done online or by calling the government agency of interest. If we talk specifically about filing an application for marriage through the State Services, then all the visible conveniences will be obvious to the naked eye, because the procedure for filling out the document itself takes only a few minutes.

At the same time, personal data must be entered very carefully. Any typo in filling out the passport data may cause the registration authority to refuse to accept your application. In this case, the procedure will need to be repeated. Due attention should also be paid to the choice of the very establishment of the registration service and the date of the wedding ceremony.

If we talk about the responses of people who have used the State Service portal as a whole, it is important to note an overall positive trend. So, people like this method of filing applications because it is convenient and fast. However, like any system, the portal has a number of advantages and disadvantages. Its advantages include:

• significant time savings, because you can draw up and submit a marriage application literally in 10-15 minutes;
• the possibility of booking the date of interest for the ceremony;
• the user does not need to stand in queues;
• quick response of the registry office employees to the application;
• the ability to choose any registration service available in the region of residence;
• you can choose additional services for organizing the solemn registration ceremony;
• the opportunity to pay the state duty directly on the portal of State Services itself with a 30% discount.

The disadvantages of such a system are:

• obligatory passage of the registration procedure on the official resource of the State Service;
• the need to pay the state duty before the documents are checked by the registry office officer (without this, the application will simply not be redirected to the registration service), while if it is refused, the duty will most likely disappear;
• as the clients themselves note, the notification system does not always work stably on the portal;
• some functions of the site may be blocked permanently or temporarily at the request of the administrative body of state power of a particular region of Russia;
• the operation of the portal directly depends on the speed of your provider, as well as the stability of the hosting itself.

In any case, according to many users, our future is behind the State Service program. This method of communication between citizens and government agencies is beneficial and convenient both for the clients themselves and for employees of organizations - it allows you to get rid of a large crowd of people in the institution, which means it saves both parties a lot of time and nerves.
