How to quickly register a marriage in one day, without waiting in line

In 2022, new rules apply for expedited marriage registration, especially if the bride is pregnant or under 18 years of age.
If one of the spouses is seriously ill, then the period can also be reduced from 30 to 2 days. But the registry office workers will not always meet you. Read on about these and other methods.

What documents to take

If you are starting to prepare for a wedding, then you already know that in Russia marriage registration can be carried out only after a month has passed after submitting the application.

But as you know, there are exceptions to every rule. If you have a serious circumstance in which it is not possible to wait a month, your marriage can be registered on the same day.

Example 1: Natalya is 8 months pregnant. She and Sergei decided to formalize the marriage. When they came to the registry office they were told that they needed a doctor’s certificate and then the marriage would be formalized on the day of filing the application.

You must have with you:

• Passports of future spouses and copies;
• Application for registration form No. 7;
• Receipt for payment of state duty. Now you need to pay 350 rubles, and any of the newlyweds can do this;
• If one of the newlyweds was already married, he needs to bring a certificate of divorce ;
• If you are applying in another city, then you may be asked for a temporary residence permit ;

Situations often occur when a couple decides to register their relationship officially if the girl is pregnant. In this situation, every day counts, especially if the deadline is already long.

If the bride is pregnant and the pregnancy is 12 weeks or more, then the registry office employee can do everything in a few days. If the period is more than 20-30 weeks, then the marriage can be registered even on the day of filing the application.

Family law provided for such situations and established certain privileges. If this situation applies to you, you can register your marriage even on the day you submit your application.

How many times can you “ring”?

Citizens have the right to enter into as many marriages as their heart desires and as much as their wallet can handle.

Men and women have equal rights in this matter. You can also go to the registry office with the same person an unlimited number of times (got married, got divorced, got married again, etc.).

The only limitation is state-recognized monogamy in marital

question, that is, a new marriage can be entered into only after a divorce. And no exceptions.

In 2003, the initiative of one of the Russian deputies was discussed - to limit the number of permissible marriages.

It was proposed to allow Russians to go to the registry office no more than three times. And if you feel the urge to enter into a fourth union, then only with the permission of the court for extenuating circumstances. The goal is to instill in citizens a serious attitude towards marriage and reduce divorce statistics. But the initiative did not find support.

An American is still considered the record holder for the number of marriages - 104 women became his official chosen ones.

Casanova went by 50 different names.

Medical examination of persons entering into marriage in Russia is carried out by agreement of the parties. When submitting an application for marriage registration, you must pay a state fee. You can read about the payment procedure and amount in our article.

You can change your surname at any time, even after marriage. You can find out how to do this here.

Reasons for expedited same-day registration

Our laws establish a number of reasons when the marriage procedure takes place in an expedited manner. These include:

• Pregnancy of the future spouse;
• The birth of a common child between spouses;
• Threat to life for one of the spouses (works in hazardous work);
• A long and serious illness, for example the last stage of cancer.
• There is a possibility that they will be sent on a long business trip (maybe even to another country)
• Other circumstances (at the discretion of the registry office employees).

Example 2: Vladimir was seriously ill last year. She and Marina have lived together for 20 years, but their marriage has not been registered. With the doctor's permission, an employee of the registry office was admitted to the hospital, who formalized the marriage on the same day.

Do not forget that you must show the registry office employees documents that will confirm your reason. The best time to do this is at the time of application. Don't forget to pay the state fee of 350 rubles. They will also quickly complete the paperwork if you have common children.

The following documents can be submitted:

• Child's birth certificate;
• A document confirming the bride's pregnancy;
• A certificate from the hospital confirming the danger to life or health.

There may be other circumstances that require an urgent marriage. These may include:

1. Departure of one of the spouses to another country, when it is impossible to postpone the issue until return. In such a situation, it will be necessary to show copies of tickets confirming travel abroad. It is better to have the tickets certified by a notary.
2. Transfer to a new duty station of your future spouse. It could also be sending on a business trip to another unit or district. Documents confirming the transfer can be required from the authorities of the unit where he is serving.
3. The groom's departure for military service. In this situation, it is necessary to provide a summons from the military registration and enlistment office.

Do not forget to check with the registry office employee which documents are required in your situation. This will help avoid problems.

Reasons for choosing a simplified ceremony

Marriage registration without a ceremony occurs in 40% of cases. The choice is justified by various factors that do not allow a traditional wedding to take place. A general list of reasons for urgent registration is presented in the table:

Couples who want to quickly and quietly register their marriage do not have to worry about the legality of the event. The only condition for the official conclusion of the union is the introduction of changes in civil registration records, which is confirmed by a stamp in the passport and a certificate.

How to quickly register a marriage during pregnancy

As we wrote above, if the bride is pregnant and the pregnancy is more than 3 months, then the registry office employees have the right to marry you on the day you submit your application. If everything is already planned for today, then the wedding will be postponed to the next day. Therefore, you should not go with documents on Saturday; it is better to wait until Monday or Tuesday.

But remember that in addition to your passport and receipt of payment of the state fee, you must take with you a certificate from the antenatal clinic or from the hospital doctor, which will indicate the result of the ultrasound.

As you can see, the mother's name should be written on top, this is a mandatory condition. Just below, the doctor must indicate age, date of birth and the name of the hospital where the examination was carried out. Then comes the “conclusion and recommendations” item - here it is indicated what condition the fetus is in and what stage of pregnancy it is. At the very bottom there is a date, signature and seal.

There is an important condition: this certificate is valid for 2 weeks, so do not delay in submitting documents. Remember that if the bride is pregnant, the age of consent may be reduced from 18 to 14 years. To do this, you will need to obtain a marriage license from the city administration.

Application for marriage registration and sample

Article 24 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation states that you must draw up a joint application, Form No. 7, and take it to the registry office employees. If all fields are filled out correctly, then they will accept it and tell you the wedding date.

But since in our situation one of the spouses may be seriously ill or may be in another country, it means that it is not always possible to come together. In this case, he can fill out a separate application and have it certified by a notary. And if he is in the hospital and cannot walk, then you can call a notary to sign all the documents. After this, the certified statement is handed over to the second spouse and he takes it along with his own.

We have also prepared a sample form to make it easier for you.

Information about marital status by last name via the Internet

As noted above, there are many online resources on the Internet that offer, for a fee, to provide information about the marital status of any citizen of the Russian Federation. Using such services is highly discouraged, since it is illegal and does not guarantee the veracity of the data.

If the reason for the interest is related to personal circumstances, and not for the purpose of using official documents, then the following methods of identifying data are relevant:

• communication with neighbors;
• social network analysis;
• familiarization with a person’s passport.

The government services website does not provide public access to data. Therefore, it will not be possible to submit an application remotely through the State Services portal.

Marriage procedure

Remember that your desire alone will not be enough for accelerated registration. If you are unable or do not want to submit documents, the marriage procedure will follow the general rules.

Do not forget that the registry office is closed on Sundays and holidays.

Both spouses must be present at the marriage registration. However, there are exceptions to this rule. If a girl begins to give birth or her husband is on a business trip, then a notarized permission can be provided. In such a situation, a marriage can be registered in the presence of one spouse.

Otherwise, the entire procedure does not differ from the standard one. You must present your passports to the registry office employee, provide documents confirming payment of the state fee and submit an application. Registration can be carried out in a solemn atmosphere if it is Saturday. On the remaining days, the procedure will take place as usual.

How to quickly register a marriage with a foreigner

If the wedding takes place in Russia, then the spouses must comply with the requirements of our legislation. And if a foreigner wants the marriage to be recognized in his country, then he must also comply with the requirements that are established in his homeland.

To speed up the procedure, you need to prepare all documents in advance and have them translated by a notary. You also need to call Wedding Palace No. 1, which is located in Moscow, and ask them when they have available dates. Perhaps they will have the opportunity to marry you early.

In addition, you can have a wedding in any country where there is a Russian consulate or embassy. Just remember to pay the embassy fee in advance; currently it is $30.
