Civil Partnerships Solicitor – Legal Advice

In terms of procedure, a civil partnership notice must be submitted to the district registrar. After that, you will arrange a date for the registration itself. This can take place at any place that you agree with the registrar though many are still at the registration office itself. There is a list of pre-approved locations published by the General Register Office for Scotland. Importantly, however, the location of your registration cannot be a religious place, such as a church. If some form of religious ceremony does take place, the couple must nonetheless have a civil registration or the partnership will not have legal effect.
