Marriage Licence Applications in Kitchener

If you wish to be married in Ontario, you must complete a marriage licence application form, signed by you and your future spouse. The application form must be submitted, with the appropriate identification, in person by one or both of you to the office of the city clerk, located on the second floor of city hall.

Provided the information is complete and consistent documentation is provided, the license will be issued the same day, and is valid anywhere in Ontario for a period of three months from the date of issuance.

Marriage licences are only issued until 4:30 p.m. each business day. An appointment is not required. The fee for a marriage licence is $148.

Marriage Certificates

After the marriage ceremony, the officiate who performs the ceremony will mail your completed marriage licence for registration to the Office of the Registrar General. Once the licence has been registered, you may apply for a marriage certificate through Service Ontario, payable by credit card only.

If you choose to mail your application or pay by cheque or money order, hard copy marriage certificate applications may be obtained at the office of the city clerk, located on the second floor of city hall, or at a Service Ontario Centre.
