Conversion of an existing domestic civil partnership into a marriage registration
An existing domestic civil partnership is converted into a marriage if both partners declare in person and at the same time, with presence, that they want to have a marriage with each other in front of the registrar.
The civil partnership continues as a marriage after the conversion.
The intended conversion of the existing domestic civil partnership must be notified to the competent authority.
The responsibility for registering the conversion of the marriage lies with the registry office of the municipality, the velvet municipality and the city in which you or your future spouse have your/her domicile or your habitual residence.
If neither you nor your partner have your/her domicile or your habitual residence in Germany, the registry office of the municipality, the velvet municipality and the city before which the civil partnership is to be converted into a marriage is responsible for the registration.
Every German registry office is responsible for the conversion.
