Document background
The Domestic Partner Affidavit serves as a formal declaration document in Singapore's legal framework where domestic partnerships, while not legally recognized like marriages, need to be documented for various purposes. This document is commonly required when partners seek to establish their relationship status for employee benefits, insurance coverage, or other institutional arrangements. The affidavit typically includes detailed personal information about both partners, declarations about the nature and duration of their relationship, and statements about their shared responsibilities. While not conferring the same legal rights as marriage under Singapore law, it provides a formal mechanism for partners to declare their relationship status in contexts where such documentation is required.
