Where?

Civil partnership registrations can be undertaken by appointment in our consular offices in Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne only.  They can also be undertaken at our offices in Brisbane or Perth but there may be a delay in arranging an appointment at these two consular offices.

ACT residents should contact the British High Commission, Consular Section in Canberra

NSW residents should contact the Consulate-General in Sydney

Victorian, South Australian and Tasmanian* residents should contact the Consulate-General in Melbourne

Queensland and Northern Territory residents should contact the Consulate in Brisbane **

Western Australian residents should contact the Consulate in Perth **

Note

*  Civil Partnerships registered under the laws of Tasmania meet the requirement of the UK’s Civil Partnership Act. Therefore a British national who has registered their relationship in Tasmania does not need to also register under the UK scheme

** Because it may take some time before we can arrange a registration appointment at our consular offices in Perth and Brisbane, the residence and notice requirements for Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia residents have been waived.
