How to file for divorce through public services

The painful situation is exacerbated by the collection of documents, appeals to the court, going to the registry office. In order to quickly deal with an unpleasant situation and forget about the hassle, such an electronic opportunity has been created as filing an application for divorce through the State Services. It takes a minimum of time, and then you just need to appear at the appointed time for a certificate.

To comply with all the rules of legal procedure, it is worth remembering only a few conditions. It is impossible to dissolve a marriage online, a court decision is still required if you have such a situation:

  • If there are minor children. The judges are always on the side of the child and they make the decision here;
  • Husband or wife declared incompetent or missing;
  • If a couple shares jointly acquired property;
  • One of the spouses is in prison for a long time.

In these cases, the second spouse acts through the court. And then, with a legal document, he already applies to the portal, without asking the opinion of the second, that is, unilaterally. When a couple mutually agrees to leave, and the family does not have the above conditions, a joint application is filled out on the portal, similar to how to register a marriage.

How to file for divorce through the State Services portal: step by step instructions

Step 1. We are looking for a service on the site

From the main page we go to the section "Family and children". The list is long, but the divorce is located just below. We find the subsection "Change in the composition of the family" and select the desired line.

Step 2. Choose the right situation

There are three situations to choose from, according to the scenario of which a gap is recorded. If there is already a court order, the number of applicants is specified and the required form is selected. If the decision of the judges in a particular case is not required, there are no common children, jointly acquired property is not divided, both agree, then the third option is suitable. Select the desired item and click on the "get the service" button.

Step 3. Filling out the questionnaire

Information about applicants will be collected here. The first person to fill out their part of the questionnaire is the one who submits the application. So, the last name, first name, date of birth and passport data will automatically appear in the columns, because when creating a page on the site, the user indicated them. It remains only to check and correct.

Step 4. Marriage certificate details

We report the number, date of creation of the family, the authority that issued the certificate. A little lower we specify - the first marriage or not.

Step 5. Choosing a place for the procedure

As with marriage, you must immediately decide on the registry office, which will carry out the procedure for dissolution of marriage. At the place of actual residence, registration or where they got married. Before us is a map of the Russian Federation, we indicate the right place in one motion. In the window that appears, possible registry offices of the specified region are displayed. Just choose the right one.

Step 6. Entering information about the spouse.

Three fields are required - SNILS, date of birth, email. We enter information.


It remains only to click on the “invite” button so that the second participant in the divorce proceedings can add their similar information to the application. This scheme is effective when both spouses are unanimous in their decision and are ready to give consent, fill out the established form. The application is sealed with an electronic signature, about which the State Services warn at the beginning of work.


You can't get an e-signature for free. Receiving is a complex process that needs to be taken care of in advance. A request for manufacturing is sent through the State Services via a link to an accredited certification center. If an EDS is needed only for filing an application for divorce, then it is worth considering another option, for example,.


So, we send a request to make a signature to the address of the CA, personal data is automatically transferred from the State Services. But you can only get a ready-made signature in person and then apply it for all calls to the Single Portal.

We are finishing up the survey. We check, clarify, correct the nuances. In the case when there is only one initiator, he fills out the same form of the questionnaire, but also prescribes the details of the court order. In all three situations considered, after entering the data, we reach the “Proceed to payment” button. We are talking about the state duty for registration of the state procedure. Without payment, the application will not be considered and registered. When the payment is successfully completed, these receipts have been sent, it will take no more than 5 minutes to review the request. The answer will go to the user's personal account.

If one of the spouses filed for divorce after the consideration of the case in the judicial authorities, no later than one day later, employees of the department will report on the result of the consideration. Without judicial review, the standard period is one month. This time is given for the reconciliation of the spouses and in case of failure to appear at the registry office on time, the application is canceled.
