Marriage between a citizen of the Russian Federation and a citizen of another state in the UAE is possible only under the laws of the UAE. That is, the Sharia court draws up a marriage contract, which will be further accepted as a certificate of marriage in the UAE and the basis for registration of marriage under Russian laws in the Russian Federation. To register a prenuptial agreement with local authorities, a citizen of the Russian Federation needs a letter of guarantee from the embassy.

A letter of guarantee is issued by the consular department in the presence of internal and foreign passports, a notarized statement of parents' consent to marriage, a certificate from the registry office about the marital status drawn up at the citizen's place of residence in the Russian Federation. If a citizen was previously married, a certificate of divorce must be provided.

If the 4-month period is not respected, the passport will not be replaced, and the citizen will need to return to the Russian Federation on the basis of a “certificate of return” in order to issue a passport on the spot for a new validity period.
