Requirements of marriage registry staff

Recently, the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued the "Circular of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on Printing and Distributing < Code for marriage registration > Notice ",which means that China's marriage registration work will produce some subtle changes, so what changes are involved in the marriage registration work norms? The following is an interpretation of the normative policies for marriage registration. To further standardize the marriage registration, the Ministry of Civil Affairs recently issued the "Regulations of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on Printing and Distributing <: Code for marriage registration > The relevant person in charge answered the reporter's questions on issues of social concern. Q: In 23, the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued the Provisional Regulations on Marriage Registration. After 12 years, the new regulations were issued. What new issues were mainly revised? Since the implementation of the Provisional Regulations on Marriage Registration on September 24th, 23, China's marriage registration 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 "Provisional Regulations" can no longer meet the actual needs of the current marriage registration work and need to be revised urgently. The new "Code for Marriage Registration" mainly provides specific provisions for mainland residents, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents, overseas Chinese and foreigners to apply for marriage registration, marriage registrars, marriage registration contents, materials to be submitted by the parties, and audit procedures. The key points of the revision include: (1) putting forward the establishment standards and requirements of township (town) marriage registration offices for the first time; It is clear that the marriage registration office should be equipped with full-time marriage registrars; Incorporate marriage and family counseling and marriage registration and certification into the Code; Put forward the relevant requirements of information construction of marriage registration office; Complemented and improved the procedures and requirements for the replacement of certificates; It is clear that the marriage registration authority should strengthen the work of sharing marriage information with the local people's courts, and further provide supporting conditions for standardizing marriage registration. Q: Why do you increase the standards and requirements for setting up township (town) marriage registration offices? The original "Provisional Regulations on Marriage Registration" did not specify the standards and requirements for the establishment of township (town) marriage registration offices. Therefore, in order to facilitate the parties to handle marriage registration nearby, many places have set up township (town) marriage registration offices, especially in the mass line education practice activities, many local leaders require that all the jurisdiction of marriage registration in their jurisdictions be delegated to townships (towns) as a measure to contact the masses and facilitate them. Marriage registration is closely related to people's personal and property rights and interests, directly related to the establishment of family members' identity relationship, the ownership and debt relationship of family property, and also related to the protection of personal privacy, which requires the marriage registration authority to provide necessary places and facilities to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties. The new Code for Marriage Registration also puts forward clear requirements for this, requiring that the marriage registration office should be equipped with full-time marriage registrars, and the marriage registration office should have an independent place for marriage registration, with a waiting hall, a marriage registration area, a divorce registration room and a file room. However, in practice, because most of the registrars of the township (town) marriage registration offices are concurrently civil affairs assistants, the strength is insufficient, and the personnel change greatly and change frequently, which leads to problems such as arbitrariness in registration, hitchhiking charges and illegal handling, and the time for registration cannot be guaranteed. At the same time, the township (town) marriage registration office has no independent office space, poor hardware facilities, no real-time online registration, no archives room and irregular file management, which not only can not provide convenience for the parties involved in marriage registration, but also can not protect their legitimate rights and interests. Therefore, the establishment of township marriage registration offices must conform to the requirements of the Code for Marriage Registration, so as to ensure that marriage registration is in accordance with laws and regulations and is convenient for the people and the people. Q: The status quo of marriage information networking, when will it be fully networked? In recent years, the civil affairs departments have continuously increased the information construction of marriage registration. Since June 212, the marriage registration information networking at the departmental and provincial levels has been realized, and the civil affairs departments at or above the county level have basically realized the marriage registration information networking and online marriage registration. In order to promote the construction of marriage registration information database, since 213, our department has taken many measures to urge all localities to input the historical data of marriage registration, and developed a supplementary system for historical data for free use. At present, the whole country has basically completed the supplementary recording of the existing historical data with ID numbers since the implementation of the Regulations on the Administration of Marriage Registration in 1994, and some areas have completed the supplementary recording of the existing historical data since the founding of the People's Republic of China. In order to further improve the level of information construction of marriage registration, the new Code for Marriage Registration also puts forward relevant requirements for real-time online registration, supplementary recording of historical data, and verification of information with relevant departments. Q: There are media reports about the phenomenon of arbitrary charges and hitchhiking charges by marriage agencies. What measures will the Ministry of Civil Affairs take to deal with it? In 24, the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued the Notice of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on Strictly Stopping Arbitrary Charges for Marriage Registration (Min Han [24] No.83), which clearly stipulated that any involuntary charging service items and all kinds of hitchhiking charges should be resolutely cancelled, and the phenomenon of arbitrary charges in marriage registration should be put an end to. And through law enforcement inspection, etc., promote the construction of the marriage registration office, and solve the problem of arbitrary charges and ride fees. In order to further solve this problem, the new Code also puts forward clear requirements such as "marriage registration offices shall not be located in institutions such as wedding photography, wedding service and medical treatment, and the above-mentioned service institutions shall not be located in marriage registration places". In the next step, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will further strengthen the investigation and handling of arbitrary charges and hitchhiking charges by marriage registration authorities in combination with investigation and law enforcement inspection, and earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people. Q: What new convenience measures have been added to the Code for Marriage Registration? In accordance with the relevant requirements of the State Council on decentralization and facilitating people to do business, a number of convenience measures have been added to the Code for Marriage Registration. First, it is required that the marriage registration place should be equipped with necessary public service facilities to provide services for the parties. The second is to require the marriage registration authority to open the online appointment function and consultation telephone number for marriage registration, so as to avoid the parties rushing back and forth due to incomplete materials and reduce the waiting time of the parties. The third is to allow qualified provinces to reissue marriage certificates for the parties across regions within their jurisdiction. For example, the original marriage registration office or permanent residence of the parties is located in Yanqing District, Beijing, but now they work and live in Dongcheng District, Beijing. The parties can apply for a replacement marriage certificate at the nearest marriage registration office (the Marriage Registration Office of Dongcheng District Civil Affairs Bureau) without going back to Yanqing District to reissue the certificate. Fourth, it is required that the marriage registration office should have an independent place to handle marriage registration, with a waiting hall, a marriage registration area, a divorce registration room and an archive room, which has changed the problem that marriage registration and divorce registration are all handled in the same area and personal privacy is exposed to the public, effectively protecting the privacy of the parties. Q: Why did the Code for Marriage Registration add marriage registration certification and marriage and family counseling? What are the specific contents of these two tasks? In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards and the rapid change of social environment, some phenomena that run counter to the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation have appeared in the field of marriage and family, such as extravagance and waste in weddings, lavish handling of affairs, flashing marriage and leaving, and lack of family responsibility. For this reason, civil affairs departments at all levels take it as their responsibility to promote the harmony of marriage and family, and explore and carry out extended services such as marriage registration and certification and marriage and family counseling, which have achieved good social effects. In order to further promote marriage registration certification and marriage and family counseling, the Code for Marriage Registration incorporates relevant contents, encourages qualified marriage registration authorities to actively carry out relevant services, and promotes the harmony and stability of marriage and family. Marriage registration and certification work refers to the establishment of certification halls in marriage registration offices by local civil affairs departments, which will turn simple marriage registration and certification procedures into solemn and sacred certification ceremonies, so that the parties to marriage can know the rights and obligations of the husband and wife concerned in the warm and festive certification hall, understand the responsibilities and responsibilities entrusted by the formation of a new family, abandon the flashy and extravagant wedding ostentation and extravagance, and make a commitment to love and care for their lives under the solemn national emblem. This service has been widely welcomed and recognized by the newcomers. According to incomplete statistics, at present, nearly 1, marriage registration offices across the country have carried out marriage registration and certificate issuing services, and tens of thousands of newlyweds have held certificate issuing ceremonies with rich contents and various forms, which have achieved wide social recognition and obvious demonstration effects. Marriage and family counseling means that civil affairs departments set up marriage and family counseling rooms in marriage registration offices, or introduce court staff to set up family dispute mediation rooms to provide one-on-one legal consultation, emotional counseling, psychological counseling, dispute handling, pre-marital education and other services for the parties in need free of charge, so as to promote family harmony and social stability. Civil affairs departments in Beijing and other places have also extended marriage and family counseling services to the outside world, organized activities such as bringing marriage and family culture into communities and marriage and family lecture halls, and sent advanced marriage culture and skills in managing marriage and family to the masses in a way that the masses loved, which was widely welcomed by the people.
