Registration of civil partnerships

The Registrar is responsible for the registration of all civil partnerships.

The civil partnership schedule

When the Registrar is satisfied there is no legal impediment to the civil partnership registration, a Civil Partnership Schedule will be prepared from the information which the couple have supplied.

The Registrar will ensure that the Civil Partnership Schedule is available for signature at the civil partnership registration.

A fee for the civil partnership registration and if applicable, for the attendance of an authorised Registrar at an approved place is payable to the Registrar at the time of notice.
