According to statistics, in Russia more than 30% of men hide the fact that they are officially married. For many women, this fact results in unpleasant consequences. More and more often you can hear high-profile stories about polygamous swindlers who enjoy the trust of the fairer sex without a twinge of conscience. How to avoid falling for a scammer, how to check that this is a decent person, and how to find out if a man is officially married? We have collected the main ways to find out your marital status using passport data in our article.
Path number 1: simple ways to find out if a man is officially married
You already realized that the person you are interested in does not have a ring on his ring finger, but he did not show the documents. Or they do not have the appropriate marks (which also does not guarantee that the man is officially not married). Let's move on. Any person of the 21st century will immediately say: check social networks! All photographs, geolocations and pages that are interesting to a person will say more than the status established there. But if someone wants not to show their personal life in their profile, then it’s difficult to get to the bottom of it. Especially if it’s a semi-fake account with one stock picture on its avatar. So this version of the test is very superficial and does not give a result close to reality.
Another way is to involve the heavy artillery, that is, the civil services. But there are problems here too:
- There is no single online database for marriage registrations and divorces.
- The main government agency for marriage, the Civil Registry Office, does not provide information to third parties. Only the person included in the document can receive a copy of the marriage/divorce certificate (and this is the only option here). In addition, you do not know which branch to contact.
The third obvious method also does not work on the Internet - the services of a detective. This is a completely extreme case when there is no other way. Yes, this happens too! But this is expensive and has its own risks: what if the person under surveillance finds out? It's unlikely to happen without a scandal. Therefore, the problem of how to find out if a man is married is not always solved by the first methods that come to mind.
Registry office database online
To check your certificate online, you need to fill out a form on the website zags.nalog.ru
- Link - zags.nalog.ru/services/ags/
In 2021, you can check the availability of a certificate record:
- about marriage
- about birth
- about divorce
- about establishing paternity
- about adoption
- about a name change
- about death
Where the number, date and series are indicated on the certificate
Record of the act of birth Record of the act of marriage Record of the act of death Record of the act of divorce Record of the act of establishing paternity Record of the act of adoption Record of the act of change of name
Records of the Civil Registry Office of Ukraine
The Ukrainian Civil Registry Office database exists separately from the Russian branches; it can be used in cases where future spouses are residents of neighboring states.
Thus, a corresponding certificate is provided to the registry office by the Ukrainian Embassy, confirming the possibility of marriage of both parties.
Path number 2: an advanced way to find out marital status using passport data
In what documents, as a rule, do spouses register together? In the documents for the apartment! Therefore, you can try to get the information you are looking for about whether a man is officially married, using the Unified State Register of Real Estate (USRN) extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate (USRN). The extract is issued electronically or in paper form, the first option is cheaper.
In order to order this certificate, you need to know the exact address of the object being inspected. In other words, according to the Unified State Register of Real Estate, you need to identify an apartment that you own. Data on the apartment being rented will not clarify family status.
When you have the document in your hands, study section 2, which states:
- copyright holders for this property by name: look at the common surname and children;
- type of ownership: we are interested in joint or shared;
- restriction of rights and encumbrance: is there a mortgage.
Analyze this data and find out if your boyfriend has a spouse and children. Thus, using the USRN extract, you can check whether a man is officially married. It is quite possible that it may turn out that the owner is his ex-wife, and the man himself has no rights to the apartment in which he lives. Moreover, their common children, to whom your chosen one pays child support, are also registered in this apartment. Most likely, you are faced with a real swindler who does not need you, but your living space. Therefore, if you find out that in fact the man with whom you want to connect your life is officially married, you should be wary. And you need to think about the goals that a person has. How transparent and noble are they?
We’ll also tell you about the third way, which will help you get a clearer idea of the reliability of the person who spends time with you. And perhaps it takes him away in vain.

Path #3: Comprehensive background check
To find out whether the person you need is officially married, we recommend approaching the issue from all sides and analyzing significant factors. In addition to the official marital status, to plan your life together, find out about the person:
- His financial situation. Does he have debts for alimony, taxes, unpaid traffic police fines, property pledged, unpaid loans and even, possibly, bankruptcy.
- Are his documents listed in the invalid database, and is he on the wanted list? Is he the person he claims to be? Does he have problems with the law and how safe is he for you?
- Has his property been seized? He says that he is a businessman, but his individual entrepreneur or LLC has been closed for a long time?
Here is just a small list of questions that will help clarify the picture of your companion.

How to find out the date of marriage registration by the last name of the spouses?
Sometimes the applicant only has information about the first and last names of the spouses. If this person is an heir or a close relative, then you can obtain information about the date of registration of the relationship at the registry office. This process is similar to that described above. An interested person can contact any civil registry office or a notary. By writing an application, you can obtain this information in the manner prescribed by law.
