Recognition of same-sex unions in San Marino

San Marino has recognized civil unions for same-sex and opposite-sex couples since 5 December 2018. Legislation to permit civil unions was introduced to the Grand and General Council in December 2017, and was approved on 15 November 2018 by a vote of 40 to 4. Civil unions provide comparable rights to marriage in the areas of residency, citizenship, pension, health care, succession, and stepchild adoption. The law came into full effect on 11 February 2019, following a number of further legal and administrative changes.
