Order a civil partnership certificate

All certificates issued are original certified documents.

We can only provide certificates for civil partnerships that took place in Birmingham. You can check which Register Office to apply to on .

Certificates cost £12.50 each plus postage and packing. You can ask for copies of several different certificates as part of the same order.

If we cannot find a matching entry for the certificate you have asked for or you have applied to the wrong District, we will not refund the full fee.

You can ask for copies of several different certificates as part of the same order. There are two types of certificate you can order:

  1. Full: all the information contained in the civil partnership record, including the addresses of the civil partners at the time their partnership was registered.
  2. Extract: The same information as the full certificate, except the partners' addresses.

To order a certificate you will need to know:

  • The full names of both civil partners, including former names
  • The date of the civil partnership registration
  • The place where the civil partnership was registered
  • Full addresses of both civil partners at the time of registration (if ordering a full certificate)

You should also read our Terms and Conditions and payment information.

All orders can be posted via Royal Mail's Tracked 48 service. This is our recommend service. If you choose standard 1st Class post, tracking will not be available, and we will be unable to issue a replacement if your order is lost in transit. In such cases, a new order would need to be placed and paid for.

Write to us requesting a certificate

You can write to us at:

Birmingham Register Office

You will need to tell us:

  • that you want a copy of a civil partnership certificate

  • the place where the civil partnership was registered
  • full addresses of both civil partners at the time of registration (if ordering a full certificate)

All orders can be posted via Royal Mail's Tracked 48 service. This is our recommend service. If you choose to have your order posted via standard 1st class post, no tracking is available, and we will not issue a replacement if your order is lost in the post. You will have to order and pay again.

You should send payment by cheque or postal order with your request. Certificates cost £12.50 each plus a postage fee of either £7 Royal Mail Tracked 48, £4 standard first class post or £16 (international).

If applying for multiple certificates, it would be helpful if you could send individual cheques or postal orders for £12.50 each and one cheque/postal order for your preferred postage of either £7, £4 or £16.

You cannot attend the office to make an application in person or to collect a certificate.
