Civil PartnershipCivil Partnership outside of IrelandThe Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act, 2010 provides for the recognition of registered foreign relationships. Section 5 of the Act provides that the Minister for Justice and Law Reform may, by order, declare that a class of legal relationship entered into by two parties of the same sex is entitled to be recognised as a civil partnership if certain criteria are met. Any enquiries in relation to such orders should be directed to the Department of Justice and Law Reform - LoCall 1890 221-227. The General Register Office has no function in advising on, or in the registration of, civil partnerships which take place outside Ireland. There is no facility for registering such civil partnerships in the State.
