The scope of a Nevada domestic partnership ("DP") is roughly equivalent to what would be called a Civil Union in other states. A few differences remain, however:
- Cohabitation: required by DP; not required by marriage.
- Portability: Marriages are portable (or should be if not for DOMA), but DP has no legal meaning in many jurisdictions, especially overseas.
- Health Benefits: Public employers that provide insurance to workers' spouses not required to provide insurance to workers' DPs.
- Minimum Age: 18 for DP; 16 for marriage with parental consent.
