Are you a foreign-born foreigner and you need a certificate of Civil partnerships to justify your situation? Service-Public.fr explains in detail how to do this and guides you through a sample letter that you can then forward to the appropriate department.

The attestation of Civil partnerships (Civil Pact of Solidarity) is a contract concluded between two adults, of different sex or of the same sex, to organize their life together.

To perform a application for certification of Civil partnerships if you are a foreign person born abroad, you must provide certain information in order to generate a template letter that you can then send to the Central Civil Registry Service (CCRS).

This formality will take you no more than 5 minutes:

  • complete all the information to personalize your attestation request: first name(s), last name, gender, address, postal code, commune, telephone, email of the Civil partnership partners. Specify also the date of signature of the Civil partnership and the place of registration;
  • download your request for PDF attestation;
  • print and sign your request for certification.

You can also copy the text to edit it in another application. In this case:

  • copy directly the request email (by pressing the Copy button), then paste it into your email;
  • send it to: attestationpacs.scec@diplomatie.gouv.fr.

You can also send the document by single mail :

  • download the request;
  • print the document and send it by simple mail to:
    Central Civil Registry Service - Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs
    Civil partnerships Section
    11 White House Street
    44941 Nantes Cedex 09

To learn more about the Civil Solidarity Pact (Civil partnerships), see the fact sheets in Service-Public.fr.

FYI  

If you need help to complete your information, you can ask your question on the Service-Public.fr.

Reminder

If you are French or if you are foreigner born in France, you do not have to provide a certificate of Civil partnerships. Your birth certificate enough.
