Choice of surname

When registering a life partnership, persons who intend to register a life partnership may agree that: 
  • each will retain their own surname,
  • they will take one of their surnames as their common surname,
  • they will take both surnames as their common surname, and decide which comes first and which second,
  • each of them will take the surname of their life partner alongside their own, and decide which comes first and which second.
