I am a greek citizen and i want to get married to a russian girl in russia.
So i got a birth certificate,a paper stating the marital status,a copy of my passport with the Apostille stamp. Then i had them translated at the greek ministry of foreign affairs and then had the translation stamped at the russian consul in Athens.
My fiancee went with the translation only, to the local ZAGS in Miass,Chelibinskaya Oblast' and they said they also need the original Apostilled documents and the translation all put together.
1.How and where can that be done?Can it be done in Miass?

Please note that a greek citizen in order to get married in Greece must a get a document where your marital status is stated and that you are allowed to get married.But here you can get another type of document where your marital status is stated.There its written all about you.Your name,your father's name,your mother's,brothers' and sisters',the place of birth and residence and the MARITAL STATUS of all the above mentioned and you.I got the second one.
There doesn't seem to be a problem with the type of papers i send.They only need the original ones and the translation and then have them all put together.
I plan to go to russia in 15 days.I Can only stay for 24 days and i don't want to go to Moscow to have the papers ready.

2.Can we get married in that period of time in Miass?
I heard that after we had out papers done we have to wait for 32 days to get married.
At the greek consul in moscow don't have a clue about which papers are needed to get married.

I am desparate about what to do.Any suggestions would very helpful.
