Civil Union Requirements in Connecticut
A Civil Union License is required by the civil union license laws of Connecticut. The procedure for obtaining the civil union license and other related information is stated below.

  • Both parties must appear in person to apply for civil union license.
  • You may apply for a civil union license in the city/town where the ceremony will be held.
  • If either party resides in Connecticut, the couple may apply in that city/town for the license.
  • Non-residents having a civil union in Connecticut must apply in the town where the ceremony will be held.
  • License is valid for 65 days from date of application.

Age Requirements
Applicants (18) years of age or over do not require parental consent to have a civil union in Connecticut.

Exact Name
Full legal name is required. No abbreviations, nicknames or initials. The information for the civil union license should appear as it does on your birth certificate, unless your name has been legally changed (i.e. previous marriage, civil union, court order name change).

Proof of Residency
If you are applying for the license in the town of residency, bring a government issued ID showing current residence. This can be a driver's license, state issued ID card or lease agreement. This is especially important if you are applying for the license in a town different than the where the ceremony is being held.

Civil Ceremony
Please request a list of Justices of the Peace and call someone from the list to make arrangements for a civil ceremony. If you wish to have the ceremony at Town Hall, you must let Vital Statistics know the day and time so that a room can be reserved.
