If you choose to, you are able to convert your civil partnership into a marriage if, your civil partnership was registered in England, Wales, overseas in a British Consulate or armed forces base (where the civil partnership was registered according to the laws of England and Wales) Under the provisions of the Marriage Act 2013.

The conversion process can be completed in one of two ways:

• A simple administrative process at one of our four Register Offices

Whatever you decide you are both required to attend an appointment at the Register Office to complete the necessary paperwork and provide:
