How City law defines a domestic partnership

Domestic partners are two adults who:

• Are not related by blood closer than permitted under marriage laws of the state
• Are not married or related by marriage
• Are competent to enter into a contract
• Have no other domestic partner
• Are jointly responsible to each other
• Are committed to one another like married persons

You do not need to live in Minneapolis to register your domestic partnership.
