What if I have a
civil union from another state?
Domestic
partnerships, civil unions and reciprocal beneficiary relationships registered
in other states are recognized in Washington so long as all the Washington
criteria for domestic partnership are met.
So, does that make it okay? I guess we’ll have to read the criteria
for domestic partnerships in Washington??

Subject: Civil Marriage Request for Out-of-State Couple
We received a call from a gentleman from Washington State that
is coming to Vermont in September to get married at his mother’s residence in
Cabot. We can only assume by his responses that they are seeking a civil
marriage, but we’re not certain.
Page 4-1 (Sec. E) of the new
marriage registration instruction booklet pointed out specific laws/regulations
applicable to non-residents applying for a Vermont marriage license and states:
“A non-resident couple who
does not intend to reside in Vermont after their wedding may not marry in
Vermont to avoid laws of their own state. 15 V.S.A. § 6.”
Washington State does have a domestic partnership law, but it
isn’t the same as a civil marriage.
So, if they’re coming to Vermont to get a civil marriage, which
WA doesn’t offer, and they don’t intend to stay in Vermont afterward, do we
issue the license? I would think not, but that’s only if we’re sure of
their intent….
Lemme know your thoughts!
