Marriage in 24 hours: how to sign "quickly" in Ukraine

Summer is one of the most popular wedding seasons. Firstly, this is almost one hundred percent hit in good weather, so the bride and groom do not need to stock up on umbrellas and outerwear. Secondly, the ceremony can be organized in nature and immediately rush into the honeymoon to the sea - even abroad, even across the country. However, what if you just got an offer? According to the law, the registry office will sign you with your future spouse no earlier than a month after submitting the application. You can put up with it and wait, or you can use the service "Marriage in 24 hours", which today operates in almost all cities of Ukraine.

Registration of marriage as usual

So, one of the happiest moments of your life has come. The relationship has moved on to a new stage, and you and your partner have decided to tie the knot. Take your time to choose

Wedding Dress and invite guests: according to the Family Code, you can be officially registered only 30 days after submitting an application to the registry office.

It is believed that during this period, future spouses should weigh the importance and responsibility of their decision, get to know each other better (if suddenly the proposal was made spontaneously). This is a time "to think" and a kind of "trial period". After all, the registration of marriage officially binds two people and creates new, legislative grounds for living together.

True, there are a number of conditions under which you can be scheduled ahead of schedule. This is a woman's pregnancy, the birth of a common child, or a threat to the life of the bride or groom (for example, when one of the couple leaves for the ATO zone). If none of these conditions suits you, you will have to wait a whole month and go to the registration of marriage "in the first place".

What does the service "Marriage in 24 hours" offer?

In a situation where “it’s unbearable to get married” (and you don’t want to get pregnant yet), you can use a completely legal service. A pilot project of the Cabinet of Ministers called "marriage in 24 hours" has been operating in Ukraine for several years now. This is a service that allows the registry office to register a marriage on the day the application is submitted or on any other day before the "probationary period" established by the Family Code.

All you need to do is find an institution that supports the service. These are not all registry offices, and moreover, often the service is offered not at the registry office at all. For example, in Kiev, marriage registration in 24 hours can be issued at the KP "Ready", DP "Center for Assessment and Information", KP "Happy city ​​"and even on the basis of the KP" First Kiev State Courses of Foreign Languages ​​"(for the exact addresses and locations in Kiev, look for below). It may be that in your city, express marriage is not registered at all. Then you will have to look for the nearest cities in which such a service is available.

How much does the service "Marriage in 24 hours" cost?

Be prepared to pay for speed. Now the registration of marriage is in the usual way (with the submission of an application, solemn ceremony and the issuance of a laminated certificate) costs in different cities of the country from 400 to 700 UAH. The price for registering an express marriage is several times higher: on weekdays, the newlyweds will be charged 2.5 thousand rubles. UAH, but on weekends and holidays you will have to fork out for 3.7 thousand. hrn. For this money, you will be signed within the walls of the institution that offers the service. If you want to arrange an exit ceremony, then the "rent" of the state registrar will cost an additional 1200 UAH.

Please note that prices are not fixed and will vary from city to city. Moreover, they may differ even within the same city - for each institution that is authorized to express registration of marriages. For example, in the capital's KP "Happy City" prices for this service start at $ 4,000. UAH, but in the KP "Ready" they offer "registration packages" from 6.8 thousand. hrn. So it makes sense to call several organizers of "quick marriages" to find out the cost and "package" of the service. By the way, many people in Kiev prefer to travel to Western Ukraine for the service "Marriage in 24 Hours". They say that you can find the same service there for much less money than in Kiev.
