What new issues have been revised to address?

Since the implementation of the "Interim Standards for Marriage Registration" on September 24, 2003, my country's marriage registration work has become more standardized, and the rights and interests of the parties involved in marriage registration have been better protected. With the rapid development of economy and society, the "Interim Regulations" can no longer meet the actual needs of current marriage registration work and are in urgent need of revision. The new "Marriage Registration Work Standards" mainly specify the registration authorities, marriage registrars, marriage registration contents, materials that parties should submit, and review and processing procedures for mainland residents, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents, overseas Chinese and foreigners to register marriages. regulations. The key points of the revision include: proposing for the first time the standards and requirements for the establishment of township (town) marriage registration agencies; clarifying that marriage registration agencies should be equipped with full-time marriage registrars; incorporating marriage and family counseling and marriage registration certificate issuance into the "Norms"; proposing marriage registration Relevant requirements for the informatization construction of agencies; supplemented and improved the procedures and requirements for renewing certificates; clarified that marriage registration agencies should strengthen the sharing of marriage information with local people's courts to further provide support conditions for standardizing marriage registration, etc. .

Question: Why increase the standards and requirements for the establishment of township (town) marriage registration agencies?

The original "Interim Standards for Marriage Registration" did not clarify the establishment of township (town) marriage registration agencies standards and requirements. Therefore, in order to facilitate the parties to register their marriages nearby, many places have set up township (town) marriage registration agencies. Especially during the mass line education and practice activities, many local leaders requested that all marriage registration jurisdiction in the jurisdiction be delegated to the townships (towns). This is a measure to connect and facilitate the masses. Marriage registration work is closely related to the people's personal and property rights and interests, and is directly related to the establishment of the identity of family members and the ownership and debt relationships of family property. It also involves the protection of personal privacy, which requires the marriage registration agency to provide necessary venues and facilities to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties. . The new "Marriage Registration Work Standards" also put forward clear requirements for this, requiring that the marriage registration agency should be equipped with full-time marriage registrars, and the marriage registration office should have an independent place to handle marriage registration, and have a waiting hall, marriage registration area, Divorce Registry and Archives Office. However, in actual operation, since most of the registrars of the marriage registration offices in townships (towns) are concurrently served by civil affairs assistants, the strength is insufficient, and the personnel changes greatly and frequently, resulting in the randomness of registration, ride-hailing and illegal handling. , registration time cannot be guaranteed and other issues. At the same time, the township (town) marriage registration authorities have no independent office space, poor hardware facilities, cannot realize real-time online registration, have no archives room, and have irregular file management. Not only can they not provide convenience to the parties involved in marriage registration, but they cannot also protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties. . Therefore, the establishment of township marriage registration agencies must comply with the requirements of the "Marriage Registration Work Standards" to ensure that marriage registration is in accordance with the law and regulations, and is convenient and beneficial to the people.

Question: There are media reports on the phenomenon of arbitrary fees charged by marriage agencies and ride-hailing charges. What measures will the Ministry of Civil Affairs take to deal with it?

In 2004, the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued the "Ministry of Civil Affairs' Regulation on Strict Regulations" Notice on Stopping Arbitrary Charging for Marriage Registration (Min Han [2004] No. 83) clearly stipulates: Resolutely cancel any involuntary charging services and various ride-hailing charges, and put an end to the phenomenon of arbitrary charging in marriage registration. And by carrying out law enforcement inspections and other methods, we will promote the construction of good practices in marriage registration agencies and solve the problems of arbitrary charges and ride-hailing charges. In order to further solve this problem, the new "Norms" also put forward clear requirements such as "marriage registration offices shall not be located in wedding photography, wedding services, medical and other institutional venues, and the above service institutions shall not be located in marriage registration venues." In the next step, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will combine research, law enforcement inspections and other work to further strengthen the investigation and handling of arbitrary charges and ride charges by marriage registration agencies, and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people.

Question: What new convenience measures have been added to the "Marriage Registration Work Standards"?

In accordance with the relevant requirements of the State Council on streamlining administration and delegating power to facilitate people's work and entrepreneurship, the "Marriage Registration Work Standards" A number of new convenience measures have been added. The first is to require that marriage registration venues should be equipped with necessary public service facilities to provide services to the parties. The second is to require the marriage registration agency to open an online appointment function and consultation hotline for marriage registration to prevent parties from traveling back and forth due to incomplete materials and reduce the waiting time of parties. The third is to allow qualified provinces to reissue marriage certificates for parties across regions within their jurisdiction. For example, the party’s original marriage registration agency or permanent residence location is Yanqing District, Beijing, but now works and lives in Dongcheng District, Beijing. The party can Apply for a replacement marriage certificate at the nearest marriage registration office (Marriage Registration Office of Dongcheng District Civil Affairs Bureau). There is no need to go back to Yanqing District to get a replacement certificate.

The fourth is to require that the marriage registration office should have an independent place for marriage registration, and have a waiting hall, marriage registration area, divorce registration room and archives room. This has changed the original situation where marriage registration and divorce registration were handled in the same area, exposing personal privacy. The privacy of the parties involved is effectively protected when dealing with issues in public.
