Domestic Partnership Forms/Instructions
Domestic partnership declaration forms (for same-sex couples only) have been available from DHS since February 1, 2008, as a result of House Bill 2007.
The Oregon State Legislature's House Bill 2839, passed in 2009, will be in effect for domestic partnership forms filed AFTER January 1, 2010. Partners filing for a domestic partnership after that date can document the legal names each will use on the Declaration of Oregon Registered Domestic Partnership form 45-6(01/10). Please see links below for detailed information.
All Oregon Registered Domestic Partnerships filed/registered with the county clerk after January 1, 2010 must be filed on the new form Declaration of Oregon Registered Domestic Partnership (form 45-6 (01/10)). The new forms 45-6 (01/10) can be completed and signed by partners and notarized prior to January 1, 2010 as long as the form is filed/registered with the county clerk after January 1, 2010. No forms dated 01/08 will be accepted for filing after January 1, 2010.
The form MUST be printed on 8-1/2"x14" to be processed. When you click the 'print' button, a print dialog box will appear. In the section titled 'Page Handling', be sure to check the box that says "choose paper source by PDF page size". This ensures the form prints correctly.
