Part 4: Civil partnership: Northern Ireland — Chapter 1: Registration

OMITTED FROM CURRENT TEXT on 2005-12-05 by The Civil Partnership (Amendments to Registration Provisions) Order 2005.

The text below is the provision as originally enacted. It is historical and may not include amendments made before this status change. View the enacted source.

This section applies where—

two people propose to register as civil partners of each other under Chapter 1 of Part 2, and
one of them (“A”) resides in Northern Ireland but the other (“B”) resides in England or Wales.

A may give a civil partnership notice under section 139 as if A and B intended to register as civil partners under this Chapter.

If the registrar is satisfied that there is no legal impediment (in the sense given in section 142(7)) to A registering as B’s civil partner, he must issue a certificate in the prescribed form that there is not known to be any such impediment.

But the certificate may not be issued before the expiration of such period from the date recorded under section 140(3)(b) as may be prescribed.

Any person may, at any time before a certificate is issued under subsection (3), submit to the registrar an objection in writing to its issue.

Any objection made under subsection (5) must be taken into account by the registrar in deciding whether he is satisfied that there is no legal impediment to A registering as B’s civil partner.
