• the name and address of the holder of the approval
• the date of the granting and due date of expiry of the approval
• if the approval is renewed, the date of renewal
• if the approval is revoked, the date on which the revocation takes effect
• the name, address and qualification of the responsible person

It also indicates which of the premises (if any) are religious premises approved for civil partnerships.

The register is available for public inspection during normal working hours. The register is also available on the council's webpages however, personal addresses are omitted.
