Bear witness to history as we proudly stand together with the first domestic partners officially recognized by Miami-Dade County!
Are you planning to declare your domestic partnership officially with Miami-Dade County? Please let us know by sending your
RSVP to Orlando Gonzales,
HOW TO REGISTER
All couples planning to register as domestic partners need to bring a completed and notarized copy "Declaration of Domestic Partnership" form. The administrative fee to officially register is $50 ($5 each additional certificate).
WHAT DOES THE REGISTRY DO?
The registry entitles domestic partners to visitation rights at healthcare, correctional and juvenile facilities, among other benefits. The registry is important also as many private sector companies rely on them to extend their own health insurance and employee benefit packages to the domestic partners of their employees. Also, any Miami-Dade County employee who is a party to a registered domestic partnership relationship can elect to select insurance coverage for his or her domestic partner or their children in the same manner as an employee may elect coverage for a spouse or unmarried dependant child.
