Converting a civil partnership to a marriage

If you had a same-sex civil partnersip in England or Wales, you can convert it into a marriage in any register office or approved premise in England or Wales.

Find out how to convert your civil partnership into a marriage on the government's website.

Once the civil partnership is converted to a marriage, the civil partnership ends. You are now treated as having been married since the date that you originally entered into your civil partnership.

Fees

There is a statutory fee to convert your civil partnership into a marriage.

If you wish to follow the conversion with a marriage celebration ceremony, our standard ceremony fees will apply.
