Domestic Partnerships

On May 20, 2008, the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners adopted an ordinance creating Article IX of Chapter 11A of the code of Miami-Dade County, entitling domestic partners to visitation rights at healthcare, correctional and juvenile facilities, among other benefits. To file a declaration of domestic partnership, applicants must register with the Miami-Dade Consumer Services Department, after which the department will issue a certificate reflecting the registration of the domestic partnership relationship in Miami-Dade County.
