You can pay the state duty for a divorce at any bank, but you should first look at the details for payment on the website of the territorial registry office. You should contact a specific department of the registry office if you have a receipt or payment order confirming the payment of the fee.
The state fee for divorce is paid by each of the spouses upon joint application, or by one of the spouses under certain circumstances. The amount of the fee for a joint application for divorce is four hundred rubles from each spouse, the same amount will have to be paid in the event of divorce in court. If one of the spouses is convicted of a serious crime, declared incapacitated or is missing, then the application for divorce is submitted by the second spouse alone. In this case, the amount of the fee will be only two hundred rubles from this spouse.
Where can I get the details for paying the state duty for a divorce?
The fee for the provision of public services for divorce should be paid before contacting the registry office, since when submitting an application, you will need to present a document confirming the relevant payments. That is why it is recommended to first find out the details for the transfer, which are usually posted on the websites of the regional offices of the registry office in each constituent entity of the Russian Federation. Details in different subjects differ, therefore, you should go to the website of the civil registration office of your particular region. If there is no opportunity to visit the specified site, or for some reason the details for paying the state duty are not posted on it, then you can find out all the necessary information at the nearest registry office.
The procedure for paying the state fee for divorce
With the details for paying the state duty and passports, spouses should contact the branch of any bank. In this case, the funds in the indicated amounts are deposited directly at the cash desk, and the payers receive receipts as confirmation of the transfer. You can also use remote opportunities to pay a fee (for example, an Internet bank), but you will still need to visit a branch of a credit institution, since in this case the transfer of funds is confirmed by a payment order, on which the bank's mark of execution is affixed. Payment documents are transferred to the registry office along with an application, after which the registrar implements all the necessary procedures aimed at divorce. It should be borne in mind that the fee must be paid exactly in the place in which the application for registration of divorce is carried out.
