main content Civil Partnerships for Foreign Nationals

Bromley welcomes civil partnerships from all nationalities, provided the couple have obtained the necessary legal permissions. Bromley, along with Bexley, Richmond, and Sutton, do not have register offices designated to carry out legal preliminaries for persons subject to immigration control wishing to enter into a civil partnership.

As long as eligibility is satisfied and notice is given, a couple can enter into a civil partnership anywhere in the UK, including non designated register offices.  So,  it will still be possible for foreign nationals to enter into a civil partnership in Bromley.

The following persons are not subject to immigration control so will give their notice in the district where they live, as at present:

• British Citizens;
• European Economic Area (E.E.A) nationals;
• members of visiting forces from NATO;
• members of visiting forces from commonwealth countries; and 
• diplomats.

If you are unsure as to how the new rules affect you, please contact us.
