Should one or both spouses pay?

In the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, Article 333.26 states that the fee must be paid for the entire event, that is, for the wedding itself and for receiving a completed marriage certificate. Moreover, this article does not say that the bride and groom must pay. From this we can conclude that only one of the newlyweds must pay. So you can be 100% sure that only one receipt is needed.

If the registry office forces you to bring 2 receipts, then write a written complaint addressed to the head of the central registry office of your city, and also take the complaint to the prosecutor's office so that they can investigate.

But, for example, for the dissolution of a marriage, a fee is already taken from each of the spouses, this is stated in the same article, in subparagraph 1.

If one or both spouses are participants, disabled people or WWII veterans, then marriage registration will be free for them. Heroes of the Soviet Union, full holders of the Order of Glory and heroes of the Russian Federation are also exempt from payment. All these benefits are prescribed in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, in Article 333.35. To use this, you just need to provide your ID.

What documents are needed to register a marriage in 2018?

The procedure for registering a marriage with the civil registry office is extremely simple: future spouses need to contact the registry office of their choice and submit a joint application and the necessary documents - marriage registration will be carried out after a month from the date of application.

Basic information

Civil registry office employees will refuse to register a marriage or dissolve it, as well as perform other legal actions without confirming the fact that the applicants have paid the state fee. Such fees are used to pay for the labor of civil registry office employees, state-issued forms for issuing a marital certificate, as well as to pay for the procedure for registering a union.

The state fee for concluding a marital union in 2020 is 350 rubles, when paying through the State Services portal - 245 rubles. The fee is paid before submitting the application to the Civil Registry Office. Only one of the future spouses pays for it.

This is how it differs from the state duty for dissolution of a marital union: its amount in this case will be 650 rubles , and both spouses pay it.

Some categories of citizens have benefits for paying state fees. Heroes of the USSR and the Russian Federation, disabled people and participants of the Second World War can apply for a duty of 175 rubles . If one of the spouses has a disability of group 1 or <2, then there is no need to pay the state fee. You will need to have documents with you that confirm the existence of grounds for this.

The state fee applies only to the registration process. If the future spouses plan to hold a special event with additional services of the registry office - with photo and video shooting, champagne, snacks, etc. - you will need to discuss all these issues with the employees in advance, since such services are paid separately.

Residents of the capital, if they wish to organize an outdoor ceremony on the territory of a cultural and historical site in Moscow, must contact an authorized institution and draw up an agreement for the provision of services. The amount of expenses in this case will be even greater.

Establishing paternity in the registry office

According to Art. 48 of the RF IC, the determination of the child’s origin from the mother is made through the registry office upon provision of documents from the medical institution where the birth took place. If the baby was born outside the walls of the maternity hospital, you will need witness testimony and documentation confirming the fact of relationship.

Lawyer

It is important to consider that paternity for a child born in marriage or within 300 days after its dissolution is determined automatically. The father becomes the man who is the legal spouse of the mother. A marriage registration certificate is used as confirmation.

If a child is born while living together without official registration of the relationship, paternity is established by submitting a joint application from both parents. In this case, the man will not be able to subsequently challenge the fact of kinship.

Documentation

When applying to the registry office, you will need a jointly filled out application and a child’s birth certificate.
If it does not exist yet and citizens visit a government agency during a woman’s pregnancy, a certificate from a medical institution is provided. You will also need passports, and in some cases, permission from the guardianship authorities. If the mother is deceased or declared incompetent, a death certificate or a court decision establishing incompetence is attached. In this case, his legal representative acts on behalf of the incompetent person, for whom a power of attorney must be issued.

State duty amount

If parents apply to the registry office, they will have to pay 350 rubles before submitting the application. This money is required to produce a certificate of paternity and make changes to the child’s documents. Citizens decide on their own who will transfer the funds.
