∙ 11y agoYou can't get a civil union. Your choices are domestic partnership or marriage, regardless of the genders of the partners. There is one place in each borough. A special marriage bureau in Manhattan or borough hall in the outer boroughs. Your partner and you both go in person with ID and money/ credit card to pay fees. For marriage, you need one witness. For DP, you do not need a witness. If either of you was previously married, bring proof that it was terminated (either a divorce decree or death certificate.). DP is a one-day process. Marriage is two days with witness needed on second day.
