About this document

This category covers documents proving a registered partnership or civil union: civil union certificates, registered partnership certificates, proof of registration of a French PACS, proof of dissolution and similar records. Depending on the country, they are issued by a civil registry, a central register, a town hall or a notaire. They usually show the identity of both partners, the date and place of registration and the authority that recorded the union. How a foreign partnership is treated in France depends on the procedure.
