In a state where civil unions have been legalized, a same-sex couple goes to the issuing authority (usually a town clerk or city clerk) and applies for a civil union license. They must appear together, meet all the necessary requirements, present the necessary identification and pay the applicable fee. Then, a ceremony is held before an authorized officiant who signs the civil union license and returns it to the clerk who registers the civil union and issues a certificate of civil union.

Can you have both a civil union and a marriage at the same time?

Yes and no: yes, if your civil union and marriage are both to the same person; no if they are to different people and both are recognized in your state. If you are in a state where your civil union is not recognized and you are married to a different person (presumably one of the opposite sex), then your civil union does not legally exist, only your marriage does.


What is the difference between a civil union and marriage in Oklahoma?

In Oklahoma, a civil union is not recognized by the state, while marriage is legally recognized and provides couples with legal rights and responsibilities. Marriage offers additional legal benefits and protections, such as inheritance rights, access to healthcare decisions, and eligibility for tax benefits, that are not available to couples in a civil union.


Can a civil judgement in one state prevent gettin a driver license in another?

Typically, a civil judgment in one state will not directly prevent someone from obtaining a driver's license in another state. However, if the civil judgment is related to unpaid fines or fees owed to a state's Department of Motor Vehicles, it may affect the ability to obtain a license in that specific state.


What are the requirements for a civil union?

This varies from state to state, but generally they are the same as for marriage. Both parties must be of sufficient age and of sound mind. The parties may not be too closely related to each other by blood. Neither party may be legally married to another person, nor already by a party to a civil union with someone else. The couple must comply with requirements for producing acceptable identification, paying applicable fees and obeying any statutory waiting period. After obtaining a civil union license, the civil union must be solemnized before an authorized officiant.
