Converting a civil partnership to a marriage

If you do decide to change your civil partnership to marriage, there are two ways you can do this:

  1. By administration
  2. By ceremony

By the administrative route

Make an appointment at the registration office. When attending your appointment, please bring:

  • Civil partnership certificate

  • Form of photographic identification for both parties, ie passport or driver's licence

The fee is £30, plus £10 for a copy of the marriage certificate.

Further information can be found on the National Records of Scotland (NRoS) website.

By ceremony

Alternatively, you can change your civil partnership to marriage by having a civil, religious or belief ceremony.

If you decide to convert your civil partnership to marriage by marrying in the usual way with a ceremony, then you will need to pay the statutory fees for the type of marriage ceremony you choose.
