The City of Boulder's domestic partnership registration program is a means by which unmarried, committed couples who share a life and home together may document their relationship. Registration may be done during normal business hours. Advance appointments with the City Clerk's Office should be made whenever possible, particularly if friends or family are attending. To provide for confidentiality and public information requirements, there are two ways to register.
All registrants follow the same steps described above.
If the registration is filed with the City Clerk's Office, it is part of the public record and may be made available for others to see. If you choose not to file your registration with the City Clerk's Office no public record of your partnership will exist. If the couple chooses to file their registration with the City Clerk's Office, the Clerk's Office will record the registration in the database, which will become part of the public record. The database will include names, dates of birth, dates of registering, and certificate numbers. When a domestic partnership ends, the partners must submit a notice of termination form, naming the partners and stating that the partnership has ended.
