CIVIL PARTNERSHIPS IN CUMBERLAND
Civil Partnerships were extended to all couples from December 2019 . Civil Partnerships are available to both same-sex couples and opposite sex couples . Whereas a marriage is formed by vows , a civil partnership is formed by the signing of a civil partnership document .
Registering a civil partnership will give your relationship legal recognition . This will give you added legal rights and pension benefits , as well as responsibilities .
You can celebrate the formation of your civil partnership in any of our licensed premises or registry office in Cumberland .
How far in advance can I make a booking ?
A legal notice of the formation of a civil partnership is valid for twelve months . However , in Cumberland you are able to make a provisional booking for the formation of your partnership , up to two years in advance . Please note that there is a non-refundable deposit payable at the time of booking .
Legal Preliminaries
Before you can form your civil partnership , there are certain formalities which are required under law . You must both attend the Register Office in the district in which you live to inform them of your intention to form a civil partnership . This is called giving notice and you must attend in person .
You will each be required to give an individual notice .
After giving notice you must allow at least 28 clear days before the formation can take place . Your civil partnership formation must then take place within twelve months of the date you gave at the notice . www . differentanglephotography . co . uk
