This section applies where a Gender Recognition Panel decides to issue a full gender recognition certificate to a party to a protected Scottish civil partnership.

The Panel must not issue the full gender recognition certificate to that person unless the Panel issues a full gender recognition certificate to the other party to the protected Scottish civil partnership.

In such a case, the Panel must issue both certificates on the same day.

Those certificates take effect at the beginning of the day on which they are issued.
