Registering a Civil Partnership
A Civil Partnership between same sex couples can be registered anywhere in Scotland.
By registering their partnership, couples will acquire legal rights and responsibilities.
Provided that they are:
- both at least 16 years of age on the day they wish to register their civil partnership
- both of the same sex
- not related to each other in any way which would prevent them registering their civil partnership
- both unmarried or not already registered as a civil partner - any person who has already been married or registered as a civil partner must produce documentary evidence.
- capable of understanding the nature of a civil partnership and of validly consenting to its formation
Each partner must complete and submit a civil partnership notice form, along with the required documentation and fees to the registration office for the district in which the Civil Partnership is to be held.
