Civil partnerships

 
Same-sex couples can now obtain legal recognition of their relationship by entering into a civil partnership.

Couples who form a civil partnership will have a new legal status, that of ‘civil partner’.

Giving notice

Find out how to give notice of your intention to form a Civil Partnership on the General Register Office website.
