Standard period for registering a marriage after filing an application
The standard period for official registration of marriage in the civil registry department is from 30 days to 6 months. During this time, the couple can once again think about the correctness of a pleasant decision and prepare for the wedding celebration.
At this time, representatives of the Civil Registry Office check all documents, establish the absence or presence of marital relations between applicants and other persons, the validity of passports, and the receipt of state duties in the budget.

How to sign at the registry office immediately, on the day of application, 1 day in advance: conditions for urgent marriage registration
Currently, more and more young people want to formalize their relationship as quickly as possible and do not plan a formal ceremony or a banquet. It is difficult to get married in one day, but if you can confirm this need with documents, it is quite possible.
Conditions for registering a marriage in 1 day:
- Pregnancy. Confirmation - a certificate from the clinic about the gestational age. The registry office employees are not doctors and do not paint on the prominent belly. Therefore, without documentary evidence they may not go to the meeting;
- Already born children from both spouses. Confirmation - a child’s birth certificate with the parents’ full names on the document;
- Military service. Confirmation - summons;
- A business trip or long-term departure of one of the young people. Confirmation – documents confirming departure and long stay.
Marriage registration: types of procedures
When considering marriage registration, it is important to highlight several forms of this action, since marriage can be of several types:
- Registered;
- Actual;
- Religious.
In order for a union to be officially recognized, it must go through a procedure at the registry office. The reason is that such registration entails legal consequences. In other words, such relationships give spouses not only status, but also new legal rights and obligations. You can find out more about them in the Family Code of the Russian Federation.
A de facto relationship is a union that does not entail actual registration, but it meets some requirements and conditions that relate to marital relations . For example, de facto spouses cannot inherit for each other, as is the case in official relations.
A religious marriage is a union that is concluded according to church canons. Moreover, they often try to combine the option under consideration with an official wedding. For example, a couple can undergo official registration, and then enter into a religious marriage. This option for legitimizing relations does not contradict the law in any way, but if we are talking only about a religious marriage, in essence this is an actual relationship that does not have full legal force.
Get married in one day due to pregnancy
Many couples form while still in student life, and live for a long time without legalizing the relationship. They often wait until the last moment, and then decide how to get married in one day in order to move to a new stage of the relationship.
This is especially important if young people do not want to tell their parents and friends about the addition to the family until they officially become husband and wife. But it happens that the pregnant woman’s condition is very unstable, and in order for her lover to have the opportunity to visit the hospital or intensive care unit, confirmation of the marital relationship is indispensable. In this case, even doctors may recommend getting married in order to avoid difficulties in the future.
Bride in position
For such a wedding in one day, a certificate of pregnancy of 12 weeks and above is sufficient. The certificate states:
- Last name, first name, patronymic of the pregnant woman;
- Gestational age in weeks (set relative);
- The general recommendations of the gynecologist are that a pregnant woman needs gentle and loyal conditions;
- It may be “at the place of requirement” or indicating the registry office;
- Full details of the gynecologist: full name, signature and seal of the doctor, as well as seals of the medical institution.
Don't forget to attach the passports of the bride and groom to the certificate.
Get married in one day if you have one or more common children
The Russian Federation actively supports the creation and strengthening of families, therefore, according to the law, if there is a common child, the state does not delay the young family and combines marriage on the day of application. Do you have children together and are you interested in the question of how to get married in one day?
To do this, contact the registry office with your passports and the child’s birth certificate, which indicates both parents.
In this case, the registry office employee will accept the application and issue a signature within a few hours, as soon as a free “window” appears. If the newlyweds want to formalize their relationship with the official part, they will be booked in for the next few days.
Couples who have a child together
How to get married quickly

- If the reason for an urgent marriage is a threat to the life of one of the spouses, an official document confirming this fact is required.
Previously married applicants must also provide proof of divorce or death of their former spouse.
How to get married on the same day in cases of long separation and upcoming military service?
The registry office employees, like no one else, know how in a hurry lovers rush to get married, especially if they are on the verge of imminent separation. If a young man is drafted into the army and he has a document confirming this, the bride and groom will be signed at the time of submitting the application, or in the coming days if the young people want a formal part with guests.
The same rule applies if one of the partners is planning a long business trip or departure. To do this, you need to take a document confirming that a month's deferment is not possible.
Where and when should an application be submitted?
An application for marriage registration is submitted to the registry office. You can choose any branch, regardless of the place of registration of the future spouses.
The period that must pass from the moment of filing the application to registering the marriage is 1 month. But this period can be changed in accordance with Article 11 of the RF IC:
- If the future spouses have good reasons, then the period can be shortened or extended, but not more than for another 1 month. The RF IC does not provide a specific list of such reasons. Valid reasons are considered to be: sending one of the future spouses to the place of service, short-term dismissal of a military personnel, citizens are already in a de facto marital relationship, etc.
- If there are special circumstances, the marriage is registered immediately on the day the application is submitted. These include: expecting or giving birth to a child, threat to life, etc.
- All special cases and valid reasons must be documented.
Before submitting an application, you also need to clarify the work schedule of the selected registry office and find out the days when it accepts applications.

Other cities may already have a different schedule. In Smolensk, an application can be submitted from Monday to Thursday, and signed from Monday to Saturday inclusive.

In this case, you must have a document confirming the need for urgent painting.
A marriage contract is the most important document that will eliminate many disputes in the future
Otherwise, you will have to negotiate at the registry office itself, and here the price will depend directly on the region, the popularity of the registry office, its prestige and other factors. But it is still worth noting that the classic wait of 30 days will only benefit the couple, since during this time they can thoroughly prepare for the celebration and invite their closest ones to celebrate such a memorable event.
Is it necessary to wait a month at the registry office if the newlyweds just want to sign?
If you do not have documentary evidence of the urgency of the painting, you will most likely have to wait a month. Of course, you can always contact the head of the registry office and “ask” for an earlier date, especially if you are not planning a formal part. But it is worth noting that family life is a long road that requires patience and endurance. Therefore, getting married in one day may be a bright idea, but checking your feelings four weeks in advance and going to the registry office consciously and having prepared is not a bad idea.
The registry office did not come up with a 1-month limit out of thin air, but only established a certain time frame within which young people can thoroughly consider their decision and avoid many misunderstandings. Also, a period of 1 month is good for drawing up and finalizing a marriage contract that protects the rights of the parties in case of omissions.
And in conclusion, we will add a video with detailed instructions on how to get married and enter into a prenuptial agreement.
