It’s easy to recover a lost marriage certificate

In 2021, the procedure is completely standard, as it was before.

In this case, an important condition that should be paid attention to: a duplicate is not a copy, but a separate independent document that is issued in replacement of a lost one

Therefore, even if in the future the old certificate is found, it will not be valid, and another copy will have legal force.

What documents are needed to restore a marriage certificate?

To restore a marriage certificate, you will need to contact the registry office in the city at the place of registration and submit the following documents:

• Passport (copy). Without it, restoration is impossible;
• Application for issuance of a duplicate. This is an important point - after loss, not the previous document will be issued, but a duplicate. The corresponding mark is placed on the form;
• Receipt for payment of state duty.

The procedure assumes that first you need to come to the registry office, write an application for a duplicate and take a receipt for payment of the state duty. After this, the state duty is paid at any bank and a receipt (not a copy, but the original) is returned to the registry office.

Sometimes other papers may be required. If it is necessary to issue a duplicate after the marriage has already been dissolved, then it will be necessary to additionally attach a certificate of a new marriage, because this will confirm the change of surname, since the passport is already for the new surname and another proof is needed confirming the relationship with the previous one marriage and former surname. (Read about what documents need to be changed when changing your last name here:)

Request for restoration of marriage certificate

If the certificate is lost, a request to create a duplicate can be submitted as follows:

• Registration of a request on the State Services portal;
• Submitting an application to the registry office in person (or transferring it through an official representative);
• Direction by mail (especially convenient if the request needs to be sent to another city).

Thanks to the availability of several methods, filing an application is not a problem

State duty for restoration of marriage certificate

The state duty is required to be charged in the amount of 350 rubles. Otherwise, the registry office has every right to refuse to accept an application for reinstatement.

The cost does not change depending on any circumstances. The only caveat is that the cost for reissue can be adjusted if you need to get more than one duplicate.

For example, after a divorce, both spouses need a copy. In this case, the state duty is paid for each duplicate separately.

How to restore a marriage certificate in another city

If you need to restore the form while in another city, you can make a request for reissue in your city. Wherever the loss occurred, a person has the right to send a request to his city by mail. Papers for issuing a duplicate must be sent by registered mail.

Standard list of documents:

• Copy of the passport;
• Receipt for payment of state duty (standard cost);
• Application for reinstatement;
• Other documents, depending on the situation.

Only copies of documents can be sent! The documents themselves (originals) are not sent. Each copy must be notarized.

A receipt for payment of the state duty and an application can be obtained on the State Services website.

After sending a request to another city by letter, a duplicate in your city can also be received by mail after restoration.

Restoring a marriage certificate through the registry office

In rare cases, there may be a need to clarify something (the marriage or the loss itself is called into question), and then you will need to come again to clarify all the circumstances.

• inheritance documents (when a marriage certificate is obtained for this purpose),

Restoring a marriage certificate in another country or city

For this case you will need:

• Write out a power of attorney from a notary for a person who has permanent residence in the city where the document was originally issued. It is worth clarifying that for this you need to choose a reliable person, because he will have to hand over the entire package of documents to receive a duplicate.
• Appear at the registry office located at your place of residence. Civil registry office employees will submit a request to their colleagues from another city. Then the information is checked, a response is received and a duplicate is issued. This takes a lot of time.

Restoring a marriage certificate when the second spouse has died

If a widow (or widower) wants to restore the certificate, a death certificate is attached to the usual list of documents.

Restoring a marriage certificate if the archive burned down

Article 264 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation establishes the rules in accordance with which one must act if the archive burns down, or the registry office ceases to function for other reasons.

The court will consider the case and make a decision. If it satisfies the applicants' claim, the registration will be resumed, and the spouses will be issued a marriage certificate.

When might a duplicate be needed?

A copy of the marriage certificate will be required in many life situations. To produce a duplicate document in hand, it is necessary to prove that the registered marriage is still valid. Some civil registry offices ask you to indicate the primary reason for restoring the document.

Common reasons for initiating the process of restoring a copy of a certificate:

• litigation between spouses in the courts;
• obtaining a new passport after marriage;
• for registration of newborn children;
• property dispute between husband and wife;
• filing for divorce;
• the need to prove a premarital surname;
• inheritance procedure, registration of ownership rights to real estate;
• providing a certificate to the bank for a loan, mortgage;
• receiving benefits after the death of one of the spouses;
• proof of family relationships for granting long-term visits in places of detention.

Important! A duplicate and a copy of a certificate are different concepts. A copy has legal force if it is notarized.

Causes of loss and recovery

A document confirming the status of a family person can be restored based on the provisions of Law No. 143-FZ of November 15, 1997. The legislation establishes the right to restore lost paper at the request of interested parties.

The most common reason for contact is physical loss of paper or significant damage in the following situations:

1. Mechanical impact on paper, which led to loss of document integrity, tears, wear along the fold line, or blurring of printed or handwritten test.
2. Drawings and random writing on paper.
3. Sunburn handwritten information.
4. Exposure to a humid environment, water causing paper to swell and text to blur.
5. Problems with paper lamination.

After making a duplicate, the original becomes invalid. If the lost certificate is found later, it will be considered cancelled. All legal actions are performed upon presentation of a duplicate. Before applying for restoration, you should carefully check whether the document really cannot be found.

An important limitation concerns the conditions for issuing a duplicate - it is issued only to citizens who are in an existing marital relationship, but not after a divorce.

The right to submit a request and receive paper belongs to:

• one of the spouses;
• to a relative in the event of the death of a married couple;
• guardian of 1 spouse;
• authorized person on the basis of a notarized power of attorney.

There are several options for contacting the state registrar, depending on the circumstances under which restoration was required.

How to make an application?

Regardless of where you apply to restore your certificate, you must write an application. The form can be downloaded on the Internet or you can ask for the form at the registry office . There is no statutory application form; it can be written in any form and it must contain the following:

Obtaining a copy of a third party certificate

Sometimes situations arise when you have to obtain a copy of the marriage certificate of third parties, for example, deceased parents or other relatives, and also when they do not have the opportunity to personally contact the registry office.

In accordance with the law, children of parents who are no longer alive, guardians of incapacitated persons, or any person who has the appropriate power of attorney certified by a notary can receive a duplicate of this document.

Confirmation of kinship or the right to receive a copy of the certificate must be documented by employees of the civil registry office.

Documents required to obtain a duplicate of a marriage registration certificate of third parties:

• notarized power of attorney;
• a document confirming the identity of the person applying for a duplicate marriage certificate (passport or other document);
• documents confirming the fact of relationship;
• documents confirming the implementation of the inheritance procedure;
• a decision by the authorities to establish guardianship over a person, a copy of which must be obtained from the registry office.

The document that is issued to replace a lost or damaged form is a new certificate with a different serial number. The copy, like the original, is recorded in the database accordingly.

The original document loses its legal force automatically from the moment it is replaced, so even if a lost certificate is discovered, a duplicate will have to be used.

Due to the improvement of the system of serving visitors of government agencies, some changes occur regularly. For example, at the moment, to pay a receipt there is no need to search for the desired bank branch. You can deposit funds into the specified account using terminals installed in the registry office buildings themselves.

What to do while in another city? Here you need to act in one of the following ways:

• go to the registry office where the registration was made.

This time is needed for the employee of the bureau where you applied to make a request to the registry office where the registration was made and wait for a response.

You can also solve problems via the Internet (through the websites of the MFC or State Services), by contacting the MFC branch (the algorithm is similar to visiting the registry office). If necessary, all documents can be sent by Russian Post. Keep in mind that in any case, you must pay a state fee; without it, your application will not be considered. However, remember that a duplicate will not be sent by mail. You must receive it in person by providing your passport.

All this is explained by the fact that in our country, official marriage has significant legal force.

Where to get it

If you have any doubts about how to obtain a duplicate, we will now dispel them. A duplicate can be obtained through:

1. Civil registry office - this method immediately comes to mind. It is chosen in 70% of cases. Most often they turn to the registry office where the marriage took place. But no one forbids choosing any other office in the country.
   If you apply at the place where the marriage was registered, then repeat the certificate can be issued within 1 hour. The maximum period will stretch for 3 days if you applied on Friday. But if you choose some outside office, then the documents can be prepared within a month.

   The period increases due to the fact that additional requests are made and the archive is searched. You can come to the registry office in person or send an application by mail. Postal services are used by those who live in another city or country.

2. Government services. The application is submitted via the Internet, which is reviewed within 3-5 days. Ready documents can be obtained in person at the branch you indicate when filling out the application.
3. Court - this option is used when other methods have not been successful. A statement of claim is filed by relatives on the side of the husband or wife when a dispute over property or inheritance is being resolved.
   The judge makes requests on his own, but this requires serious reasons and evidence. Additional documents may be required to confirm the relationship.
4. With the help of law firms or a representative. To do this, you make a notarized power of attorney and draw up an agreement for the provision of services for obtaining a second marriage certificate. This option helps save time, but costs approximately 3,000 rubles.

If the document is needed electronically, it will be sent to your mailbox and an electronic signature will be provided.

• if this document has lost its “official” appearance over time and cannot be used (faded, abrasions have appeared, and it is not readable, etc.);
• if it was damaged for some reason (it often happens that children draw on important documents and they are then unusable);
• when the certificate is laminated, it loses its weight and cannot be used, so it needs to be replaced, and never laminate important documents;
• due to loss, when you yourself lost or had this certificate stolen from you.

So you can safely contact the registry office and make a new certificate. Moreover, you will be obliged to do so and have no right to refuse your application for restoration.

Is it possible to get a duplicate if the original is lost?

A divorce certificate is issued to both divorced spouses, which is recorded in the relevant registers at the registry office. If necessary, one of the former spouses can request a duplicate of the certificate . The possibility of restoring a divorce certificate is provided for by Federal Law of November 15, 1997 (as amended in 2021) No. 143 “On Civil Status Acts.”

In accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 9 of this Law, in case of damage, loss, unreadability of records or blurry printing, lamination of a document, the registry office issues a repeat certificate in the form of a duplicate.

The duplicate can be obtained by:

• the person in respect of whom the state record was compiled;
• relative;
• a representative acting under a notarized power of attorney.

A divorce certificate is required in a number of cases:

• upon remarriage;
• in court collection of alimony for minor children;
• when traveling outside the country for minor children;
• when restoring the previous surname;
• when applying for a pension;
• to certify relationship if the mother and child have different surnames.

What documents are needed to obtain a copy of the marriage certificate?

What documents are required to obtain a copy of a marriage certificate? A marriage certificate is a document that confirms that the marriage registration procedure has been completed successfully. The paper will be issued in any case, regardless of where the marriage procedure takes place (in the local registry office, regional Wedding Palace, outside, in prisons, etc.). The procedure for receiving the paper is not influenced by the pomp of the ceremony. The document will be issued to the newly-minted family in a single copy.

Two more original papers will be kept, one at the registry office, and the other at the executive authority.

By law, a person who has lost or damaged the first copy can only receive a duplicate. The original will not be issued.

To obtain paper, you need to ensure that you have a number of documents:

• spouse's passport (one is enough);
• an application drawn up in form # 19 (the form can be obtained from the registration authority);
• a receipt confirming the fact of payment of the state duty.

Note! The passport of the representative of the married couple must contain a marriage stamp. Its absence will result in the service being refused.

If for some reason there is no stamp in your passport, you must provide a copy of your marriage certificate. Next, the registry office employee will consider the issue of extradition.

Form #19 will be issued free of charge. You need to enter the following data into it:

• applicant's passport details;
• place and date of marriage;
• the reason for receiving a duplicate (this could be loss, damage, theft of a document, inability to obtain a document from a spouse, etc.).

On our website you can download form #19 to see what it looks like and what will be required when filling it out.

Remember that there should not be any corrections on the form. All data must be written in full, without abbreviations. Handwriting must be legible.

All necessary information is entered with one pen.

Note! If it is necessary to obtain paper in cases where one of the spouses has already died, you must provide documents to certify the degree of relationship with the deceased. The state fee for obtaining a duplicate of the union registration certificate is 350 rubles

Please note that payment must be made before filling out the form and submitting the papers.

• one of the spouses wants to receive benefits after the death of the second spouse;
• the wife wants to get a meeting with her husband in prison;

For all such cases, the registry office has samples of filling out applications; you can ask an employee if you can’t fill it out yourself.

Once all the documents are ready, do not forget to make photocopies of them. Then give the registry office employee your application, proof of payment of the fee, your passport and a photocopy.

Most likely, your duplicate will be made within 30 minutes. If you were unable to come to your registry office, the procedure for creating a duplicate may take 10 days.

This period is obtained due to the fact that employees will need to contact the archive.

Remember that it is not necessary to go to the registry office with your spouse. You can restore your marriage certificate alone, just don’t forget to check the passport details of the second spouse.

When a duplicate is received, it will be marked accordingly. Upon delivery, you will be asked to sign in a special document record book. This completes the procedure; you can now use the document for its intended purpose.

Most often, the certificate disappears if the case goes to divorce, but one party does not want to give their consent. There is an interesting fact. If the marriage is declared invalid, then a duplicate certificate will not be issued.

Remember that once you receive a copy, you will no longer be able to use the original certificate if you happen to find it. The previous certificate loses its legal force. And an attempt to do something like this deliberately can be regarded extremely negatively.

Restore a marriage certificate through State Services

Things are somewhat different with situations in which it is necessary to restore documents. It is not always possible to use the Internet to achieve the task at hand. Today we will try to find out whether a modern resident of the Russian Federation will be able to restore his birth certificate through “State Services”. What kind of portal is this anyway? And how is the restoration of the mentioned document carried out?

The list of documents allowing you to take a duplicate (Approved by Order of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation dated August 19, 2016 N 194) includes the applicant’s identity card as the first item, and Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 232 explains what other documents - international passport, driver’s license, military ID - can replace the main document of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

Amount of state duty and payment methods

How much does the process of restoring and producing a marriage certificate cost in 2021? The amount of the state duty remained unchanged and is 350 rubles. You can pay the state contribution in any convenient way. The most common ones are:

• Sberbank terminals, QIWI;
• Internet banking Sberbank Online, QIWI;
• electronic service Yandex.Money;
• State Services portal.

Important! Before paying the state fee, double-check the correctness of the filled-in details.

Who can request a certificate

The applicant receives a certified duplicate, which reflects the latest date of issue and serial numbers that differ from the previous ones. If a USSR-era death certificate is lost, the relative is issued a new document.

Documentation required to obtain a duplicate

The timing of obtaining the birth certificate of the deceased is affected by the correct completion of documentation and the provision of all necessary papers. It takes a longer period of time to obtain a duplicate if the deceased relative was declared missing. In this case, employees of the organization send requests to various archives, after which they await official written responses.

Important: if a person has the original of the mentioned certificate, you can make a photocopy of it and have it certified by a notary. But as a rule, such extracts have no legal force. And government agencies and various organizations do not accept them.

To obtain a birth certificate, you will need to go to the registry office where your birth was registered. If you live in another city, you can write a letter to this registry office with a request to send a duplicate of your birth certificate to the registry office at your current place of residence. Will I be required to provide anything other than my passport? Yes, it will be required, but not that much. You will need to fill out an application in the prescribed form (forms are almost always available in the lobby), and also pay a state fee of 350 rubles. It’s better to do the latter in advance, then you won’t have to queue twice. Details can be found on the website of the regional registry office, as well as in the registry office itself: samples on stands and sometimes ready-made receipts on tables. How long will it take to issue a duplicate? At first you will probably have to sit (or stand) in line. It depends on your luck.

Restoring the marriage certificate of deceased parents

To replace the lost marriage certificate, a new document is issued with the mark “Repeated.” If the marriage certificate is restored, it will be stamped “Repeated.” From this moment on, the old copy ceases to be valid. If you find it, you can immediately throw it away. It cannot be used.

It is really difficult to restore lost documents, especially when the situation is complicated by the fact that the body that issued the original certificate of registration of the act of divorce has long ceased to exist.

The loss of a document confirming the fact of dissolution of the marriage by one of the former couple is a problem common among many citizens. There is no need to turn the current situation into a tragedy, since the law provides for the restoration of this official document. It is regulated by an article of the Federal Law.

How can you prove your relationship with the deceased if there are no documents?

Family relationships are sometimes required to be confirmed. You can do without this if the deceased took care in advance by leaving a will, or when the heir is in the first line of inheritance. This applies when the applicant is a child, spouse or parent of the deceased. If the relationship is distant, then everything is complicated by the obligation to provide documents confirming the connection with the deceased relative. The first step towards a future inheritance should be to contact a notary, who will give instructions on further actions. If necessary, he will refer you to the court, which will make a decision on the fact of relationship. Sometimes cases of this nature are resolved quite quickly, but sometimes they can take more than one year.
