# The Consular Fees (Civil Partnership) Order 2005, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Consular Fees Order 2005 to take account of the introduction of consular services in respect of civil partnerships under the Civil Partnership (Registration Abroad and Certificates) Order 2005.
The overall effect is to continue full recovery of costs for fee-bearing consular services. Civil partnership services will be charged at the same rates as the analogous services for marriages.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs for business.
