Civil partnership conversion ceremonies
Same-sex couples can convert their civil partnership into a marriage as long their civil partnership took place in England or Wales. Opposite-sex couples are not able to convert their civil partnership to a marriage, as the choice of either a marriage or civil partnership was available to them at the time of their ceremony.
The conversion process can be completed in one of two ways. A simple administrative process at one of our four Register Offices, or you can choose to celebrate with family and friends with a bespoke celebration ceremony.
Whatever you decide you will both required to attend an appointment at the Register Office to complete the necessary paperwork and provide:
- your original civil partnership certificate
- proof of identity
- proof of address
Service | Fee |
---|---|
Administrative process (no ceremony) | £50 |
Administrative process with ceremony | £30 admin fee plus celebration ceremony fee |
In addition to the fees above, marriage certificates cost £12.50 each.
Your marriage certificates will be dated from the date your civil partnership was formed.
