Your Application You will need to attend a Register Office to complete an application to convert your Civil Partnership. This takes approximately 30 minutes and is available at Basingstoke, Fareham and Winchester Register Offices. You must bring documents that confirm your current identity and address as well as a copy of your Civil Partnership certificate.
Signing your Declaration Once your application is complete you can finalise the process at that same appointment by signing your ‘Conversion into Marriage Declaration’. Or you can choose to sign it during a ceremony to celebrate your marriage at any Register Office or Approved Venue, on the same day or a later date. Fees for conversion ceremonies in Hampshire are the same as the fees for Marriages and Civil Partnerships. You can find details on our website at www.hants.gov.uk/registration/marriage You will keep the original date of your Civil Partnership to make sure there’s continuity of your legal status.
