civil union, civil partnership


Explanation:
Although 'registered partnership' does exist in English, it is much more commonly referred to as a civil partnership or civil union.

-> "A civil union is a legally recognized union similar to marriage. Beginning with Denmark in 1989, civil unions under one name or another have been established by law in many developed countries in order to provide same-sex couples with rights, benefits, and responsibilities similar (in some countries, identical) to opposite-sex civil marriage."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_union

-> "Registered partnership is one of several terms synonymous with a civil union or civil partnership similar to marriage, typically created in order to provide same-sex couples the legal and social benefits of traditional marriage and thus could be described as quasi marriages. The term is used in the Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands, Czech Republic and Switzerland. The same concept under slight different terminology can also be found in Germany, Hungary and the United Kingdom."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_partnership

-> "Als u een geregistreerd partnerschap ofwel partnerschapsregistratie wilt aangaan moet u eerst in ondertrouw gaan ofwel aangifte van partnerschapsregistratie "
