Foreign passports and documents

The procedure for obtaining a temporary residence permit for marriage at the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (formerly the Federal Migration Service)

As you know, the path to obtaining RVP consists of many steps. The number of permits issued is regulated by quotas, the number of which is regulated by the government and distributed across all regions of the country. But the TRP for marriage does not depend on the number of quotas and you can get it in a much faster time than a regular permit. In 2017, the issuance of a TRP for marriage takes up to two months if the migrant arrived from a visa-free country. If he crossed the borders of the state on a visa, then he will have to wait up to six months, since more documents need to be checked.

Why does a marriage license have such features? The principle of family unity in the state means a lot, so the migration service gives the opportunity to reunite spouses in the same territory and live as a full-fledged family.

List of documents for obtaining a TRP

Despite the fact that obtaining a TRP by marriage is considered a simplified procedure, it is necessary to provide a certain package of documents, without which it cannot be issued. Here is a list of documents that will be needed for submission to the Main Department of Migration (UFMS) in 2017:

  • Two copies of the completed in Russian application for a permit.
  • Two photographs 35x45 mm (color or black and white).
  • Passport of the migrant spouse with a notarized translation into Russian.
  • Passport of the Russian spouse.
  • Marriage certificate.
  • Migrant card.
  • Documents confirming the residence or registration of both spouses.

It is very important to pay attention to the fact that in the GUMV (UFMS) you may be asked to apply in the region where the marriage was concluded. The process of applying and receiving does not differ from similar processes when a permit is issued for other reasons.

Requirements for obtaining a TRP for those who have been married

In 2017, in case of obtaining a temporary residence permit for marriage, in addition to providing a list of documents, it is necessary to fulfill a number of conditions, without which the issuance will be impossible:

  • The union must be concluded in full in accordance with the requirements of the legislation of Russia and the country from which the second spouse arrived. Both citizens must be of legal age or have good reason to marry before reaching adulthood.
  • Religious rites are not valid, only official marriages concluded by the relevant authorities are recognized by the state.
  • A temporary residence permit for marriage can only be obtained if the certificate issued in another country bears a legalization mark.
  • None of the persons who are married should be in other marital relations at the time of the conclusion of the union.

All these requirements are simple and logical and remain relevant in 2017. It is important to pay attention to the fact that marriage in one country is enough, you do not need to go through this procedure again in another state. For this, there is a legalization mark, which certifies the authenticity of documents.

Fictitious marriage between citizens of different countries

Separately, it is worth noting a fictitious marriage, as a way to obtain a TRP. Very often, those who want to obtain permission use this route, as this is one of the easiest and fastest ways to obtain a document. Authorized bodies consider this issue if they have any suspicions. Most often this happens when a foreign spouse arrives from a state that maintains a visa regime with the Russian Federation.

The second case when consideration of the authenticity of the reasons for marriage can begin is the claim of one of the spouses. At the same time, it is impossible to deprive you of the permission received during a divorce, it will end only after the expiration date, in 2017 this principle continues to operate.
