The Gender Recognition Register (Marriage and Civil Partnership) Regulations 2015 have now been published and will come into force on the 6th February 2015. These regulations concern the issuing of new marriage and civil partnership certificates after a GRC is obtained for those who entered into the marriage or civil partnership in England or Wales. It also affects those who entered into a marriage or civil partnership under English and Welsh law, but did so outside the UK such as at a British Consulate. UK Trans Info is one of the organisations that was consulted during the creation of this statutory instrument, and are pleased that some of our recommendations were used. The new regulations are not perfect, but this was a complex topic that did not have a perfect solution.
