You can apply for a civil partnership certificate at the registry office. To do so, please contact the registry office that registered the establishment of your civil partnership.

The civil partnership certificate serves as proof that a civil partnership was established and includes the first and last names of the partners at the time the partnership was established and at the time the certificate was issued, as well as the place and date of birth of each partner and the place and date the civil partnership was established.

You may request a civil partnership certificate at any time from the civil registry office in whose jurisdiction you established the civil partnership.

You can obtain the civil partnership certificate in the following formats:

• Civil Partnership Certificate
• Certified printout from the civil partnership registry

A certified printout from the civil partnership registry contains all the information that the civil registry office entered in connection with the establishment of the civil partnership.

You will receive the certificate, including any marginal notes, either as

• a new printout from the electronic registry (if your civil registry office already maintains one) or
• a copy or verbatim transcript of the civil partnership entry from the civil partnership registry.

In addition to the details, the printout also includes subsequent changes, such as notes regarding dissolution, if applicable
