These Regulations establish the procedure for changing an existing qualifying civil partnership into a marriage under section 10 of the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014. A qualifying civil partnership is any existing civil partnership which was registered in Scotland and has not been dissolved, annulled or ended by death. A civil partnership which was registered outside the United Kingdom under an Order in Council made under Chapter 1 of Part 5 of the Civil Partnership Act 2004, where the parties to the civil partnership elected Scotland as the relevant part of the United Kingdom under the Order and details of the civil partnership were sent to the Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages for Scotland, is treated as having been registered in Scotland.
