In short yes. Few years back I did it and needed to phone first to make an appointment with them. Find your nearest registrar on the net. Its called a certificate of no impediment your asking for. |

Location: Redcar & Lermontov Nr Pyatigorsk | Yes, a certificate of no impediment. Go to your local Registry office (as Simon said - an appt is needed) take some ID etc.. they'll stick your name up on a big board and if your ex sees it, she can call the police, else you get the certificate after 3 weeks (and a couple of days - if I rembr correctly). All linked to the tradition of the Reading of the Banns which took place (and still does if you're a good church lad) 3 sundays before you got married
From memory - you're getting married in the UK? else come back on here for more info.. |

Remember that the Certificate of no impediment is valid for 90 days and not three months as it suggests on the RR website(3 months can be 92 days), can someone from RR please get this changed on the website as I commented on this last May when I was caught out by this mistake.
Real Russia Website
You should remember, that a Russian registry office will only accept the certified documents for a period of up to 3 months from the date of issue including the Certificate of No Impediment, so please ensure that you plan your dates of travel, document issue and translation appropriately. Further, please check with the registry office that you intend to use if they have any variation on this general rule.

(3 months can be 92 days)
Ah yes, but it can also be just 89 days 
I had my appointment today - for my Certificate of No Impediment application.
Don't forget that you'll also need to take your passport, birth certificate (if you have it handy) and some proof of residency (Council Tax bill, utility bill, etc).
You'll also need your fiancee's EXACT name (as it appears on her passport), date of birth, registered address in Russia and her occupation.
It can take 2 or 3 weeks to get an appointment, so you'd better get a move on if you're looking towards a June / July wedding!
Good luck

Location: When at home either Sakhalin Island or Scotland | Further to the advice already given. You will need your CNI apostilled (FCO Milton Keynes) and then translated into Russian. It is probably best to get the CNI + apostille translated in Russia by a translator approved by the local ZAGS (that is because some ZAGS are funny about the translation.

You will need to appostile any British and also any foreign document (by foreign I mean a non Russian document) that you want to be recognised in Russia by the Russian authorities , you will then need to have the document and also the appstile translated into Russian. As far as I am aware the only documents that are exempt from the requirement to be appostiled are (a) A passport (b) a driver's licence. Yes a Passport and a driver's licence are considered to be a documents |

No, because you don't need to provide your birth certificate if you get married in Russia. The Russian ZAGS only need a copy of your UK passport and the apostilled CNI. |

You need to send it to the FCO in Milton Keynes...

Yes. Using the FCO is the only way to get any document officially legalised (apostilled) in the UK. You may also need to get that document translated and the translation notarised in the country you wish to use it (you definitely need to do this for Russia) so keep that in mind too. |
