Where and with what documents to formalise a dissolution of a common-law partnership?
If you want to dissolve your civil partnership, you can go to a notary's office to sign a deed of dissolution of the civil partnership before a Notary.
If your relationship has stopped working and you need to dissolve your civil partnership, you should know that the dissolution of a civil partnership can be processed by both members of the couple who are dissolving it or unilaterally by just one, having previously informed the other member in a notarial manner. Therefore, any member of the couple alone may go to a notary's office to exercise their right.
To do so, you will only need to provide the necessary documents.
Documents to process the dissolution of a civil partnership before a Notary
The procedure for dissolving a civil partnership is very simple and requires few documents:
- Valid identification document of the person who is going to sign the dissolution of the civil partnership (DNI or NIE is acceptable)
- Deed of establishment of the stable civil partnership or identification of the relationship that is being ended.

Causes for the dissolution of a common-law partnership
In addition to the voluntary decision to end the civil partnership, there are certain causes that can lead to the dissolution of a stable civil partnership. Among them, we find that one of the members enters into marriage, the cessation of cohabitation of the couple, the civil or religious marriage of the couple, or the death of one of the members.
Whatever the cause of the dissolution of the civil partnership, it is important to dissolve the civil partnership and register the dissolution of the civil partnership in the Register of Civil Partnerships of Catalonia. This registration procedure for the dissolution is also managed through the notary.

Each couple must dissolve their civil partnership at the Notary of the Autonomous Community where they are registered. The procedure for the deed of dissolution of a civil partnership is especially quick if both members of the couple agree to it. Even if it takes longer due to having to notify the other member of the couple of the intention to process the deed of dissolution, it is a quicker procedure than divorce.
