Deadlines for reviewing documents
Submitting an application to the registry office during pregnancy is carried out according to the general rules regulated by the RF IC. To apply, citizens must complete the following steps:
- collect the necessary documents;
- pay the state fee for registration actions in accordance with the established procedure;
- appear in person for an appointment with a civil registry office employee;
- fill out the application in accordance with the official instructions;
- Submit a completed application and required documents.
The fact of acceptance of the set of documents will be confirmed by a receipt from the official. In standard conditions for registering marriages, when issuing a receipt, the parties have the right to participate in choosing the date of the official ceremony.
If the bride has a certificate of pregnancy, the parties have the right to declare a reduction in the period for carrying out all necessary procedures.
To do this, at the application stage, you must present a pregnancy certificate issued by the antenatal clinic and indicate in the form the presence of a special condition - the bride’s pregnancy.
Based on the specified point in the application form, the civil registry office employee must make a procedural decision on how long the pregnant woman’s marriage will be registered.
The duration of consideration of submitted documents directly depends on the legal grounds specified in Art. 11 IC of the Russian Federation.
This provision allows for the registration of family relationships involving a pregnant woman directly on the day of filing an application. The deadline for reviewing and checking all documents must also fall within the specified period of time.
Since shortening the period for carrying out the necessary procedures with the participation of a pregnant woman is the right, and not the obligation, of the civil registry office employees, another date for the registration event may be set, not exceeding a month.
Therefore, the length of time during which the verification of the submitted information will be carried out will be carried out before the appointed date.
If it is decided that it is possible to register family relationships on the day citizens apply and submit an application, the documents will be verified on that day.
The newlyweds will be notified of the decision made directly upon submitting the application with all the necessary certificates.
Why might a certificate be needed?
The state provides several types of social guarantees that are provided for pregnant women. To obtain them, you need to go through many bureaucratic barriers and procedures, submit documents and simply show up at a certain place at a specified time. In order to be on time everywhere, the girl is issued a certificate, which can be submitted to:
- educational institution for providing academic leave or a simplified form of passing the test;
- place of work to switch to light work or get maternity leave;
- for the registry office to postpone the official registration of relations to an earlier date;
- for court in some cases.
Such a certificate can be issued at any stage of pregnancy at the request of the expectant mother and necessity.
Certificate form
They take such a certificate separately to prevent divorce on the initiative of a man. In this case, the document is submitted to the court and is the basis for a ban on divorce in accordance with Article 17 of the Family Code. Not only in case of pregnancy, but also within a year after the birth of the child, only a woman can file for divorce. This is how the state protects young mothers from the fate of being left alone and gives the couple a chance to restore their relationship.
The court terminates the divorce proceedings at the moment when the woman brings a certificate from the antenatal clinic, which confirms the presence of pregnancy and its duration. Regardless of the stage at which the case is at the time the document is submitted, if the woman does not agree to divorce and is in a position, then until the very moment paternity is established, the man does not have the right to divorce her.
The judge will leave the man’s application without consideration as soon as the girl’s situation and her refusal are documented. Due to newly discovered circumstances, it is possible to cancel the divorce on the basis of the provided paper. In this case, the court reviews the decision and makes a new one.
Important! Even if the court does not ask to bring such a certificate, only its presence is confirmation of the state of pregnancy and termination of the divorce process.
With all this, the pregnant woman herself can go to the registry office at any time and write an application for divorce. And during the divorce process, he also has the right to demand alimony for the unborn child and for his own maintenance for up to 3 years. A man has the right to challenge such a decision only when he has documentary evidence in his hands that he is not the father of the child.
Marriage registration deadlines
As already indicated, if a marriage is registered due to pregnancy, the deadlines for processing documents may be changed at the request of the newlyweds and subject to a positive decision by the registry office staff.
The verification of the submitted information must be completed on this day, therefore, the possibility of exercising the right to accelerated registration depends on the newlyweds filling out all the necessary data in the application form.
If the document verification was successful, an authorized civil registry office employee, in the presence of the parties, carries out a formalized procedure for making an entry in the deed book.
The parties personally sign that this procedure has been completed, after which a form of certificate of registration of family relations is drawn up.
Spouses are not required to apply again for additional events; their marriage is considered officially registered.
When filling out the application form, the parties will be required to indicate the procedure for determining their joint surnames during the period of family relations. The civil registry office employee will be required to use this information when preparing the final documents when registering family relationships.
When marriage registration may be denied due to pregnancy
A couple may be denied accelerated marriage registration in the early stages of pregnancy.
Certain circumstances provided for by the Family Code of the Russian Federation may serve as a refusal to register a marriage. These include the close relationship of the bride and groom, the status of an adoptive parent or adopted child in relation to each other, and also if one of the spouses at the time of filing the application is legally married to another citizen.

During the period of bearing a baby, the expectant mother is often asked for certain documents, from different organizations and for various reasons. One of them is a pregnancy certificate. What kind of document is this, where it is usually required, how to obtain it and fill it out correctly, we will consider in the article.
How to submit documents during pregnancy to the registry office
Even in the case of special circumstances, such as the pregnancy of the bride, applicants must comply with the law in terms of submitting a complete set of documents.
ATTENTION ! The presence of a medical certificate of the established form, in the absence of other required documents, will not be the basis for carrying out registration procedures and will result in refusal to accept the application.
The information that citizens need if they are registering a marriage during pregnancy, the timing and documents for such a procedure, can be clarified on the day of contacting a civil registry office employee.
The list of forms and forms that will be necessary to comply with all formalities includes:
- documents that individualize the identities of the parties (passports or other forms of a similar nature);
- consent to enter into a marriage relationship if one or both newlyweds are minors;
- evidence of termination of previous family relationships if the applicants were previously married;
- medical certificate of pregnancy of the established form, issued by the antenatal clinic;
- payment order confirming the fact of payment of the state fee for registration actions.
Information from these documents must be reflected in the application form filled out by the newlyweds upon application. Verification of this information will be carried out in an expedited manner by checking with the original documents.
To register family relationships, the parties will need to pay state fees in the amount of 350 rubles for each participant.
Currently, civil registry offices provide the opportunity to pay fees directly when applying through payment terminals. An alternative way to fulfill this obligation would be payment through banking institutions.
If a marriage is registered during pregnancy, the time frame for completing all procedures may be limited to one or several days. In this case, the newlyweds will not have access to the service of submitting an application through the MFC, which is used with the standard application option.
You cannot submit an application under the accelerated procedure through the government services portal, which provides for choosing a date for registering family relationships after a month.
Based on the results of the registration procedure, citizens will receive a formalized form of a certificate of registration of family relations. In addition, they will need to present their passports, which will contain a mark indicating the registration of family relationships.
If during these events one or both spouses’ surname was changed, after completing the procedure they will need to apply for a change of official documents to the authorized bodies.
Certificate of pregnancy for the registry office
A pregnancy certificate for the registry office is issued at the request of the expectant mother. The document is drawn up according to the established template.
Where to get
You can get a pregnancy certificate for the registry office at the antenatal clinic where the pregnant bride is registered. It is issued by an obstetrician-gynecologist. The document contains the patient’s data, gestational age, date of issue of the certificate, doctor’s name and signature, and a wet seal from the medical institution is affixed.
What does the document look like?
This document has a standard form with all necessary marks and seals. The format of the pregnancy certificate is 1/2 A4 sheet. The document is filled out by the obstetrician personally and certified with a wet seal and the personal signature of the specialist. This certificate has an unlimited validity period until the birth of the child.
Good reason: what is the difference between registering a marriage during pregnancy?
Usually, preparation for a wedding takes at least six months, but sometimes there is an urgent need to legitimize the relationship. There are various reasons for rushing, but one of the most common is the anticipation of the birth of a baby.
Peculiarities
Legislation is accommodating to couples expecting a baby. They have the opportunity to go through a simplified and expedited application process. It is possible to get married even on the day of application.
Important! Special rights for newlyweds preparing to become parents are guaranteed by the Family Code of the Russian Federation.
In general, the wedding ceremony for couples in which the bride is pregnant takes place in the same order as in standard situations. The main difference is the time frame for processing applications.
The newlyweds still have the opportunity to choose the format of the event. This can be a solemn wedding ceremony or a modest painting lasting no more than 20 minutes.
In the latter case, the event only involves the exchange of rings, filling out the necessary documents, a few photographs for memory with a minimum number of invited guests.
Couples preparing to become parents have the option of signing at home or in the hospital. The last possibility arises if the bride is unable to appear at the registry office for health reasons, for example, if the pregnancy proceeds with complications and the woman is in confinement. In this case, the registry office employees are required to organize an away ceremony, but with such registration of relations the ceremonial part is not provided.
Conditions for minors
Childbearing age comes quite early, but legally a person under 18 years of age is considered a child and has no right to decide his own life. Before this age, you can only sign for a valid reason. One of them is pregnancy.
The Family Code states that marriage is possible after reaching the age of 18, but pregnancy is the basis for registering a relationship before reaching adulthood.
Couples who have reached the age of 16 can apply for marriage. Marriage of minors is possible only with the consent of parents or guardians. After receiving written approval, applications are processed by the municipality within a short time.
Deadlines and documents
In a standard situation, according to the law, couples submit an application to the registry office 30 days before registering the marriage. During pregnancy, an exception is made - the period is reduced as much as possible.
The bride does not have to wait a whole month, because many people feel awkward on their wedding day due to too big a belly.
Depending on the stage of pregnancy, you will be allowed to sign sooner - in a week, two, or even on the day of application.
To submit an application, you must go to the registry office with a complete package of documents. This is an important condition, without which marriage is impossible.
The list of documents for filing an application includes:
- passports of both newlyweds;
- identification numbers (TIN is needed when paying state duty);
- divorce certificates, if this is not a first marriage;
- written consent of parents or guardianship council in cases where one or both newlyweds have not reached the age of majority;
- receipt of payment of state duty;
- pregnancy certificate from the antenatal clinic.
A pregnancy certificate is a necessary condition for early marriage registration. Only if you have this document, it is possible to sign before the 30 days of waiting established by law.
If necessary, to complete documents at home or in the hospital, you will have to provide a certificate of health of the bride.
The process becomes more complicated if a girl marries a citizen of another country. In this case, the package of documents is accompanied by the groom’s residence permit, as well as a certificate of his marital status translated into Russian.
Important! In the Russian Federation, marriage between persons in a related relationship is prohibited. If the young people have the same last name, documents will be required to exclude their relationship.
To speed up the process at the registry office, the bride provides a certificate of pregnancy, which is issued at the antenatal clinic.
You can get it at the place of registration from the supervising doctor or at any other medical institution. You can also go to commercial clinics, but you will have to plan for additional costs for ultrasound diagnostics.
To obtain a certificate, you need to do an ultrasound. Based on the examination results, the gynecologist issues a corresponding document.
A pregnancy certificate is issued on the day of application and contains the following data:
- name of the institution that issued the certificate;
- personal data of the woman;
- gestational age;
- date of issue;
- last name, first name and patronymic of the attending physician;
- recommendations for treatment (necessary for registration of an outdoor ceremony).
The presence of an exchange card from the antenatal clinic is not a basis for early registration. Only a documented certificate with stamps and signatures is provided to the registry office.
Order
Both for ordinary couples and for the bride and groom expecting the birth of a baby, there is a clear procedure for organizing the event. The first stage is submitting an application in a convenient way to the registry office chosen by the newlyweds.
Important! Civil registry office employees monitor the condition of the bride and groom during the application and wedding ceremony. If one of the newlyweds behaves inappropriately or there is a suspicion that he is signing under pressure, the procedure is canceled.
Then the marriage registration procedure takes place and an entry is made in two copies. Young people put their signatures on them. Then the newlyweds are given a marriage certificate.
How to apply?
You can submit an application to any registry office in the Russian Federation, regardless of your place of registration. If in some city they refuse to accept documents, we are talking about a violation of the law. A couple can complain about illegal actions of government employees.
At the moment, you can declare your readiness to get married without leaving your home. The government services website provides the opportunity to submit an application online. To do this, you only need Internet access and a package of documents.
Applications are accepted on the Unified Portal of State Services on the website gosuslugi.ru. You can take advantage of the advantage only after registering on the resource, but you cannot submit an application for an accelerated procedure for registering a marriage through the portal. It is possible to set a wedding date online only after a month has passed.
There are two options for submitting an application:
- In the first case, the newlyweds send documents online and set a date for the ceremony. To complete the procedure, you will have to find time to appear at the registry office;
- The second option does not involve visiting the registration department until the wedding day. All documents are processed remotely using technical means (an electronic signature is required). But in order to sign and receive certificates, you still have to come to the registry office.
When applying online, please carefully fill out the required information in the form. You can edit the data if errors were made when filling out the online form only within 24 hours after submitting the application to the State Services website. Failure to comply with this requirement will entail a number of problems associated with the re-issuance of documentation.
Video instruction
Marriage registration takes place only at the registry office or in exceptional cases at home (in a hospital, prison) in the presence of government employees.
You can only submit an application online about your readiness to legalize the relationship. How to do it correctly - in the video:
How quickly will it be processed?
Traditionally, documents for marriage are issued within 30 days from filing the application. If pregnancy is confirmed by an appropriate certificate, you will be able to sign and receive certificates earlier. This does not contradict the laws set forth in the Family Code.
