Where and when is it issued?

A marriage certificate is issued during its registration with the civil registry office . In the case of an outdoor marriage ceremony - at the location where it was held. In any case, the entry in the registration act is carried out by a civil registry office employee.

Newlyweds sometimes tend to confuse a marriage certificate with the “certificate” that some oceanfront wedding planners issue in various countries, such as Cuba or the Dominican Republic. You need to understand that the beautiful form that is issued during such a ceremony has no legal force.

At the same time, citizens of the Russian Federation also have the opportunity to register their marriage abroad . However, in order for such a marriage to be recognized as valid in Russia, after receiving a certificate of its registration, an apostille must be applied to the form. This is a stamp confirming the authority of signatures and seals on official documents.

Upon arrival in Russia, newlyweds must have their certificate, previously legalized, translated into Russian by a notary.

We talked about what documents will be needed in order for a marriage concluded abroad to be recognized in the Russian Federation here.

What it is?

From a legal point of view, a marriage certificate is one of the most important documents in general. Without it, it will be impossible to confirm the formality of the relationship between a man and a woman. The certificate can be used by both family members, and will allow many legal procedures to be completed, for example:

• Registration of inheritance in the event of the death of one of the spouses.
• Obtaining rights to alimony.
• Resolution of disputes during division of property, incl. claim to property acquired during cohabitation.
• Proving kinship and legitimacy.

What does the document indicate?

The marriage registration certificate in Russia has a single form. The form was approved by order of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation dated June 25, 2014 No. 142. The certificate is considered a document of strict accountability; the form is printed by the Gosznak factory on stamp paper and has an individual number and series.

The document must contain:

• Certificate number. It is stamped by the registry office workers.
• Date and place of marriage. Accordingly, the date of your marriage will appear here, as well as the place where the registration took place.
• Number and date of the act record. This information is also indicated by the registry office employees. Please note that the registration number and date on the letterhead are always typewritten. The date when the marriage is registered is printed, the certificate number is the next one in the registration book.
• Signature of the head of the civil registry office, as well as a transcript.
• Seal. Printing on the form is strictly mandatory. The presence of a seal is provided for by Order of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation dated August 13, 2018 N 167. Accordingly, a certificate that does not have a seal may be declared invalid.
• Full name of each spouse before registration, date and place of birth.
• Full name of the spouses after registration. Typically, the wife takes her husband's last name (although this is not required). Sometimes spouses take a double surname.
• Citizenship. Indicated in the appropriate column.
• Nationality. Specified upon request.
• Date of issue of the certificate. Usually coincides with the date of marriage, but is written separately at the bottom of the document.

Regulatory regulation

In September 2021, the Federal Tax Service of Russia issued Order No. ММВ-7-14/ [email protected] , according to which, from the beginning of 2021, printing protection of certificates, the issuance of which was intended for taxpayers, regardless of status, was abolished.

Since July 2021, the document on state registration of rights to real estate has been replaced with an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate. This moment arose as a result of changes that occurred due to the adoption of the law of July 3, 2021, Federal Law-360.

Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 267 regulates the procedure for issuing and format of vehicle registration certificates in 2021.

Government Decree No. 713 indicates a new model and standards for drawing up a document on state registration at the place of residence.

How can I check the authenticity?

The authenticity of a marriage certificate is often verified only in cases involving court cases or legal circumstances. For verification, law enforcement agencies, the court or lawyers have the right to send a request to the registry office whose details are indicated on the certificate . Department employees will have to prepare all the requested information within the period established by law.

In rare cases, authentication is ordered from specialized organizations that provide paid examinations.

Can it be laminated?

Many citizens of the Russian Federation try to take care of the safety of all important documents, so they often resort to a variety of methods that, in their opinion, can help cope with this task. And here you can often find such a practice as lamination.

There is no direct ban on laminating a marriage certificate in Russian legislation. That is, from a legal point of view, after covering a document with plastic, it does not lose its significance. However, there are some nuances that make it possible to judge the ambiguity of the use of this practice.

These include:

• Government agencies may need to make any notes specified by law on the certificate.
• When establishing the authenticity of a document in the event of various legal circumstances, for example, in a lawsuit. It is impossible to conduct an examination on a laminated document, and it is also impossible to determine the authenticity of the seal.

Thus, before you run to the nearest office that provides lamination services, you need to think ten times. Better yet, do without laminate, using plastic cases, boxes or folders as an alternative. This will save you from unnecessary hassle and paperwork when issuing a duplicate certificate.

What to do if you lose?

If the marriage registration certificate is lost or damaged, citizens have the opportunity to order a duplicate of this document. This procedure is quite common, and below we will dwell on its main points.

What documents are required?

To obtain a duplicate, you will need a passport, an application and a receipt for payment of the state fee . It must be borne in mind that the passport must have a mark on marriage registration, otherwise a copy will be denied. The marriage must be registered in accordance with Russian legislation and have valid status (should not be declared invalid).

Usually a passport is enough to obtain a duplicate, but in rare cases, civil registry office employees may request additional documents. An example would be a situation where one of the spouses has died. The applicant will then be required to provide a death certificate.

The application must be filled out in person . It should not contain any kind of blots, strikeouts or corrections. The application, along with the applicant’s passport details, contact information, date and place of marriage, indicates the reason for the application.

Where can I go for a duplicate to restore a document if the original is lost?

You should apply for a duplicate marriage certificate at the registry office at the place of its registration or at the place of residence or stay of the applicant. There you can also take a special form to draw up an appropriate application for a repeated document.

If the applicant is in another city, then an application for a duplicate certificate can be submitted to any civil registry office. Its employees will themselves fill out an application to the archives at the place where the applicant was registered and receive the necessary information. In this case, the certificate will arrive within a month or two. Also, some registry offices provide the opportunity to send an application via the Internet.

How much does it cost to obtain a duplicate?

After the application is written, you need to pay the state fee . The receipt can be obtained from the registry office employee. The fee will be 350 rubles. Next, taking the payment receipt, passport and application, you need to go to the desired office and receive a duplicate certificate. This procedure, depending on the workload of the department, takes from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Important! After receiving a duplicate, the first copy becomes invalid. If suddenly it is discovered after a lapse of time, it will be prohibited to use it. Violation of this requirement may, among other things, result in criminal liability.

Even before contacting the registry office for a copy, it is strongly recommended to make sure that the original is indeed lost. And if, after receiving a duplicate, it is accidentally found, it should be destroyed.

There are other publications on our website about the documents that will be required during marriage. After reading them, you can find out what the forms and procedure for submitting an application to the registry office are, as well as how a passport is replaced after marriage.

Can a third party obtain a copy?

The list of those who have the right to receive a duplicate of a marriage registration certificate is approved by paragraph 2 of Article 9 of Law No. 143 FZ. Third parties may be required if the spouses, for example, are no longer alive. So these include:

• relatives (heirs) of deceased persons to whom it was issued;
• guardians of persons declared incompetent;
• any other person on the basis of a notarized power of attorney.

If a person is one of those listed above, to obtain a duplicate he will need to write an application form No. 19, a passport, and a document confirming his authority:

• power of attorney;
• birth certificate (if we are talking about relatives);
• documents confirming entry into inheritance or the right to it;
• decision of a court or government agency to establish guardianship.

To summarize the above, let us dwell on several aspects. Firstly, the marriage registration certificate is an integral part of it, legally confirming the status of your relationship. Secondly, obtaining a certificate will not require any additional actions from the spouses other than leaving their signatures on it. Thirdly, even if you lose the original copy of the marriage certificate, you can easily get a duplicate.
