| Oregon Domestic Partnership |
On February 4, 2008 Multnomah County began registering domestic partnerships in accordance with the Oregon Family Fairness Act. The law creates a domestic partnership system for same sex couples within the state of Oregon.
Multnomah County files domestic partnership registrations between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at its offices at 501 SE Hawthorne Blvd., Portland. Telephone: (503)988-3034 (PRESS 2)
The Declaration of Domestic Partnership form must be notarized before it can be accepted. The Oregon Secretary of State maintains a list of Notaries Public within the state and most banks and financial institutions employ notaries.
Effective January 1, 2010:
With the passage of House Bill 2839 during the 2009 legislative session, Oregon Registered Domestic Partners can document the legal name each will use after the Declaration of Oregon Registered Domestic Partnership form is filed. The legal name to be taken after domestic partnership for Partner B is recorded on item 20 on the Declaration of Oregon Registered Domestic Partnership (form 45-6 (01/10)). The law limits the options of the surname to:
- retaining the surname prior to the partnership;
- changing the surname to the other party's surname; or,
- changing the surname to hyphenated combination of the partners A's and partner B's surnames, in either order.
The middle name may only be change if a new surname (last name) is selected. In that situation, the middle name may only be changed to the person’s current surname (last name) at the time of partnership.
