Time:2025-09-01 Views:1311
Introduction: Jiangsu Province is about to launch a welfare policy that benefits the people - free marriage registration in Jiangsu starting from July. That is to say, starting from July 1st this year, couples who apply for marriage registration no longer need to pay an additional fee of 9 yuan.
On January 4th, we registered our marriage in Lianyungang and spent more than 70 yuan. Didn't we say that our province will handle marriage registration for free this year? "Yesterday, a citizen surnamed Ge expressed his question on the program, saying that he not only paid 9 yuan for labor costs, but also more than 60 yuan for photography and other expenses.
Regarding this, Director Wang of the Social Affairs Department of the Civil Affairs Department of Jiangsu Province explained, "Currently, it is reasonable to charge a fee of 9 yuan for marriage registration. Free marriage registration has not yet been implemented, but we have a plan to reduce the 9 yuan fee after June 30th, but service fees will not be reduced temporarily
The waived 9 yuan not only includes the cost of the marriage certificate, but also the cost of the divorce certificate, "Director Wang said in an interview with the Yangtze Evening News. Now, a couple needs to pay a 9 yuan cost of the marriage certificate for marriage registration, as well as some service fees such as photography and certification ceremonies, which the couple can freely choose from." If they take photos at the marriage registration agency, they may have to pay more than 20 yuan, so they don't have to spend money to bring their own photos. However, all these service fees are not mandatory, and we will require marriage registration agencies at all levels to prominently display these fee standards
We request a reduction of 9 yuan in construction costs after July 1st, but it will still be based on the documents issued by the local civil affairs bureaus, "Director Wang told the Yangtze Evening News reporter. The reduced 9 yuan construction costs are all supplied by local finance, and the financial strength varies in different regions, so there will be some difficulties in implementing them simultaneously.
The Yangtze Evening News reporter learned that at the provincial civil affairs work conference held in September last year, our province clearly proposed to innovate and implement welfare policies that cover all residents, one of which is to promote marriage registration. Kunshan City took the lead in implementing free marriage registration in 2010, while Nanjing piloted free marriage registration in five districts last year. Next, this benefit will be expanded to the entire province. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
