Partnership (Form DP-1) with the Secretary of State.
Effective January 1, 2020, all couples regardless of age or sexual orientation that are eligible to be married may

responsibilities, obligations, and duties under California law as are granted to and imposed upon spouses.
In circumstances when a registered domestic partnership meets all the requirements listed in Section 299(a)
, the
domestic partnership may be terminated by filing a Notice of Termination of Domestic Partnership form with the
California Secretary of State.

State's office.
