In 2021, 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.

We just want to sign as quickly as possible - how much and how to submit an application?

Do you dream of getting married in one day, but there is no compelling reason? If you are planning a celebration, then the time given by the state registry office can be turned into magical preparation for the celebration. If you submit an application to the registry office in the usual manner, you will have to wait a month .

If you submit an application online on the State Services website , the period may be equal to 1 calendar month or exceed this period. At the link above on the State Services website, you will find detailed instructions for submitting an application.

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.

Price for wedding in one day

Many people who are getting married are concerned about the question: how to get married in one day and how much will it cost? Indeed, if the cost is high, it seems reasonable to wait a month. But unlike other CIS countries, on the territory of the Russian Federation the cost of a wedding for one day is also 350 rubles for the state fee. 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.

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.

At what age can you get married, get married officially in Russia?

The generally accepted age for marriage in Russia is when young people reach 18 years of age . This age is called adulthood, when young people reach the necessary psychological level of development at which they can get a job and financially and psychologically support their family, be adequately responsible for their actions, and therefore can get married.

From the age of 16, it is allowed in the Russian Federation to get married if there are certain reasons - the bride’s pregnancy or living in a region where the local administration can independently push back the age of marriage.

Russia is a multinational state and in some regions the marriageable age has been lowered.

From the age of 15 you are allowed to get married by the local administration in

• Kabardino-Balkarian Republic
• Murmansk region
• Chelyabinsk region

From the age of 14, it is allowed to get married by the local administration in

• Chechen Republic
• Republic of Adygea

Foreigners in Russia marry according to their own rules and at the age allowed in their country.

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.

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.

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.

Sample application for marriage registration

Sample receipt for payment of state duty

You can register a marriage on the day of filing the application: in case of pregnancy, birth of a child, threat to life

Article 11 clause 1 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation

If there are good reasons, the registry office can: register a marriage in a few days

Article 11 clause 1 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation

Why don't they invite you to get married?

Marriage for a man means additional obligations and a loss of freedom, which, as you know, is very dear to him. Therefore, young men are in no hurry to propose marriage to a girl, even if they have been living together for some time. Why, since everything is already fine, what can the stamp in the passport change?

Or another option, when a guy doesn’t ask a girl to marry - maybe he’s just not ready for family life yet, as they say, “not mature” for this. Or this is simply the wrong man, not the “hero of her novel.”

But if you leave men alone, another problem emerges. Some girls themselves are not ready for family relationships. Emancipation played a cruel joke on them. Now the woman has become a full member of society. She studies and works equally with a man. Accordingly, she is of little interest in household chores and she no longer looks like a homemaker. She considers household chores humiliation, and is not going to “cook borscht”. But sex alone cannot keep a man. He must be surrounded with care and attention in all respects, including everyday life.
