The registry office, performing the state function of registering the civil status of the population, acts on the basis of the general principles of Russian legislation, including: legality, publicity, legal equality of all before the law.
Over the past two years, much has changed in the activities of registry offices. Work is underway to improve and simplify work with the population. This is primarily due to the introduction of electronic programs.
Electronic base
A lot of work is being done by employees of the registry office to create an electronic archive. All records of acts of registration of birth, death, conclusion and dissolution of marriage, adoption (adoption), establishment of paternity, change of name, stored in the archives of departments, are entered into it.
Sometimes these are entire libraries. However, the information stored in these books is confidential and protected by law. Therefore, in most regional offices, the work on the creation of the archive is carried out by the employees themselves, without the involvement of additional personnel.
The creation of an electronic database in registry offices is undoubtedly a step forward. The search for archived data now does not take much time and does not force visitors to accumulate in the corridors in a long wait for their turn. Employee performance becomes transparent.
Applications for state registration of certain types of civil status can now be submitted electronically. However, there is clearly a certain contradiction here. Proceeding from the norms of family law, it is important that persons applying for the purpose of checking their legal capacity, compliance of the necessary documents with the established norms of legislation, and resolving existing nuances are important in the registry office. But the ability to choose the day and time of marriage registration can be called a positive moment.
Legality
All employees of the registry office in their work must be guided by the norms of family, civil and other legislation. However, when working with the public, they face different situations. It happens that a person comes to register the divorce, and the passport for some reason is not replaced in time with a new one. And if an employee of the registry office accepts from him an application for registration of divorce, it will be a violation of the law.
Many difficulties arise with citizens of other states. It is not always possible to find the necessary norms governing specific relations in international agreements. Yes, and in the Russian legislation, it would seem, everything is quite clearly spelled out, however, some new circumstances constantly appear that are not reflected in it.
And how often does a registry office employee find himself in a difficult situation when a conflict arises between the law and a more dynamic life. And, nevertheless, one has to look for a way out of these situations. This is where professionalism comes in.
It should be agreed that the work in the registry office is not easy. It requires patience, attentiveness, literacy and great responsibility. Here the law comes to life, being embodied in concrete forms.
