Civil partnership ceremony
To register a civil partnership, both parties must be present at the same time to sign the registration document in the presence of the registration authority; the document is authenticated by the District Registrar’s signature.
The ceremony can take place in the Register Office or elsewhere, subject to prior agreement between the registrar and the parties.
No fee is charged for civil partnership ceremonies performed in the Register Office during office hours.
Parties who wish to have their ceremony elsewhere should contact the Register Office well in advance to agree on the time and place.
Civil partnership ceremonies performed outside the Register Office are subject to a standard fee and the registrar must be reimbursed for any travel expenses incurred.

Civil partnerships of foreigners
A civil partnership can be registered in Finland as long as one of the parties is a Finnish citizen and has residence in Finland or if both parties have had residence in Finland for the duration of the previous two years.
Prior to the registration of civil partnership, a foreign citizen must present the Register Office with a certificate from his or her country of origin demonstrating that there are no impediments to the civil partnership.
The certificate must be legalised according to the provisions of the Finnish Marriage Decree. The investigation of impediments is carried out according to Finnish law.
Citizens of countries where legislation provides for the registration of civil partnership with largely the same legal effects as in Finland (such as the Netherlands, Nordic Countries and Germany) are treated as Finnish citizens.
