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.

Further information

For more information about civil partnerships, download the 'Get Hitched' booklet from the Stonewall website.
