Civil Partnerships

After registration

How do I get a copy of a civil partnership certificate?

You will receive your civil partnership certificate after your partnership is recorded in the register.

There are two types of certificate:

• one which shows all the details of the civil partnership including the addresses of the partners at the time the partnership was registered
  
• one which shows all the details of the civil partnership excluding the addresses of the partners at the time the partnership was registered

If, at any stage, you require another copy, you can either apply direct to this office or the registration authority where you registered your partnership. You will need to provide sufficient details of both civil partners to identify the record. If you wish to apply for a certificate with addresses you must also provide the addresses of both civil partners as recorded at the time the partnership was registered.

For full details, see Obtaining civil partnership certificates.
