📜 Civil Status

Your registered partnership, officially certified

Registered partnerships concluded in Switzerland remain fully valid and keep producing legal effects — pensions, inheritance, immigration. This certificate proves yours from the civil register, wherever the file lives.

✓ CHF 119 excl. VAT — official fees & registered Swiss Post included

Still fully valid

Since marriage opened to all couples, no new partnerships are registered — but existing ones remain in force, and their certificates continue to be issued and required.

Questions about this document

We converted our partnership into marriage — which document do we need?
Both exist: the marriage certificate shows the conversion date; the partnership certificate documents the original registration. Pension funds often want the partnership record for periods before conversion — tell us the file’s purpose and we’ll order the right one.
Does the certificate work for foreign authorities?
With apostille for Hague Convention countries, yes; where local law treats partnerships differently, the certified record plus translation is what their lawyers work from.
Can one partner order alone?
Yes — either partner with their own ID; third parties need an authorisation, template provided.
