A civil partnership or unmarried partnership is a stable and emotional union between two individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation, in an affectionate relationship similar to marriage.<\/p>\n
The decision to formalize this situation varies depending on the region or area in which the couple is registered, as regional administrative laws regulate this matter. Although the requirements are quite similar across regions.<\/p>\n

of becoming registered civil partners in Madrid<\/strong>, in which case, it is essential to register in the Registry of Civil Partnerships in Madrid. This inscription is made by virtue of a contradictory file before the person in charge of the Civil Registry, requiring the presence of two witnesses of legal age in full exercise of their civil rights.<\/p>\n First of all, it is necessary to fill out a form to request appointment<\/strong> and to present it with the indicated documentation (D.N.I. or passport, certificate of census registration, certificate of civil status…).<\/p>\n Then, on the indicated day, the couple will go with their witnesses, provided with ID or passport<\/strong>. It is important to note that no more than 8 people are allowed between the couple and the witnesses who must attend.<\/p>\n The procedure ends with the registration and certification issued by the person in charge<\/strong>. With this certification it is accredited that they have all the rights and obligations that the Law grants to the registered partnerships, that although, they are not fully comparable to marriage, in many aspects they are similar.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#032832″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_direction=”135deg” background_color_gradient_stops=”#000000 0%|#032832 50%|#007380 100%” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”183a4314-7f30-4731-97fb-eae1c24275fc” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”cedfac72-3741-4d99-b5fd-56fbe9f86638″ custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We\u2019re here to help you with every step of your civil partnership process in a clear, friendly, and secure way.<\/p>\n Registering as a civil partnership in Spain is often assumed to be a lighter form of marriage. It is not, and the difference matters.<\/p>\n Registration does give access to certain regional benefits, recognition for residence and immigration purposes, standing in some administrative procedures, and \u2014 in most regions \u2014 the position of the surviving partner for the purposes of a widow’s or widower’s pension, subject to the requirements of social security legislation.<\/p>\nHow to register as a civil partnership?<\/h2>\n
