Thanks so much for prior help!
I am helping my daughter, who obtained jure sanguinis in 2010 to register her children with the LA Consulate; she received approval in 2010 at the San Francisco Consulate.
The LA Consulate states that a marriage qualifies if it is performed in a civil ceremony with two witnesses. My daughter and her spouse obtained a "private (or confidential) marriage license" in California, where no witnesses were required. Here is information on private marriage licenses

With this as a given, in her registration in AIRE with the LA Consulate, should she simply be listing her relationship to her spouse in the "Civil Partner" category instead of "married"? I am afraid that if she submits her private marriage license as proof of marriage that it will be rejected by the Consulate based on the "two witnesses requirement". That said, I'm wondering if she needs to submit her private marriage license as proof of "civil partnership", if she checks that category in her AIRE information.
All help appreciated!
