Converting a registered partnership into a marriage
You can convert your partnership registered before 1 March 2017 into a marriage by notifying us. The registered partnership will continue as a marriage from the date we receive your notification. There is no marriage ceremony associated with the notification. At the same time, you can also indicate that you are taking a common surname or a combination of surnames.
You can also continue in a registered partnership without converting it into a marriage, if you like.
