Important information for life in Russia in marriage.
Article 11 of the Family Code establishes a one-month period from the date of applying for marriage until its state registration. The head of the registry office can change this period both upwards and downwards, up to the marriage registration on the very day of filing for it.
The only who’s legally authorized to make a decision on changing the term for state registration of a marriage is the head of the registry office. No other officials of ZAGS have the right to resolve such issues.
We are often asked, under what reasons is it possible to change the monthly period for marriage?
If we look at the Family Code, we’ll see its provisions do not establish a specific list of reasons that may serve as a basis for reducing or increasing this period.
In paragraph 1 of Article 11 of the Family Code they are talking only about the validity of such reasons. At the same time, as it seems most correct, the degree of validity of the reason is determined for each specific case INDIVIDUALLY, taking into account the interests of the persons who applied for marriage.
If we turn to practice, we can see cases when ZAGS offices recognized as a good reason the fact that those who are getting married have long been in actual marital relations. Various documents can be used as evidence (child’s birth certificate, commercial services payment receipts, if they contain their data, various contracts, such as employment, credit (in which one of them acted as a borrower and the other as a co-borrower), etc.).
As valid reasons for changing the term for state registration of marriage, we can also mention the following:
• the bride's pregnancy;
• a joint child’s birth;
• the immediate threat to the health or life of one of the parties;
• conscription of the groom for urgent military service, etc.
Thus, it can be noted that good reasons and special circumstances are evaluative.
So, from May 9, police clearance certificates, no marriage certificates and other documents issued by Embassies and consulates of those countries don’t require legalization at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so that they can be submitted to government agencies.
What are the advantages of registering a marriage for a foreign national?
• You can obtain a temporary residence permit (RVP) and a permanent residence permit (VNZh) without complying with quotas (this right appears immediately after marriage registration);
• You can obtain citizenship of the Russian Federation after 3 years, if a foreigner has a RVP or VNZh (if there’s no marriage, the period for applying for citizenship is 5 years);
• Automatic assignment of Russian citizenship to children born from this marriage.
______
But one shouldn’t forget the fact that if a marriage is registered only to get Russian citizenship, it may be recognized as fake. But it’s quite difficult to do this, because one must prove there are no family relations and the spouses reside separately from each other.
______
The disadvantages of registering a marriage between a Russian and a foreigner include the obligation to obtain a temporary and permanent residency in Russia. Without such permissions, a foreigner will be able to stay in the country only on a visa
Thus, one who’s getting married must provide various kinds of documents: divorce certificate, death certificate of the deceased spouse, court decision (that has entered into legal force) to recognize the marriage as invalid, or a certificate from a registry office confirming the state registration of the above events.

Hi! Thanks a lot for good information, I want also ask about foreigner's passport with a notarized translation, do I should do in outside Russia or can I do all documents notarized translation in Russia?

[@TarasenkoVasily]

It's best to have the translation notarized at a Russian consulate, since there the notary will put the certification in the Russian language (this is the last page where the notary writes where it was notarized, by who, and how much was charged), and you won't have to additionally translate + notarize the foreign notary's certification in Russia.
