Civil Partnership Ceremonies

What is a civil partnership?

A civil partnership is a legally recognised partnership between two people.

It gives you the same legal rights as a married couple in most matters. However, you should be sure you are choosing the union/partnership that is right for you and your personal circumstances. East Sussex Registration cannot advise on the suitability of a civil partnership.

A table defining the differences between a marriage and civil partnership can be found on the Gov.UK website.
