To Apply for a Marriage Licence
How do I apply for a Marriage Licence?
One way is to visit ServiceOntario.ca/GettingMarried to get the government documents needed if you plan to marry in Ontario.
Requirements & Fees
A current passport (which includes a photo) or an original birth certificate PLUS one piece of photo I.D. (driver’s licence, health card, etc.) are required for both applicants. Applicants 16 or 17 years of age require parental consent. There are no medical certificates, residency or citizenship requirements. A marriage licence is valid for use anywhere in Ontario for a period of three (3) months from the date of issue.
Marriage Ceremony
A religious marriage ceremony may be performed by a person who is registered under the Marriage Act to perform religious marriages in Ontario. A civil marriage may be performed by a judge, a justice of the peace or a Municipal Clerk and/or their designate. Check ServiceOntario.ca/GettingMarried to access lists of religious officials who are registered to perform marriages.
Divorce
If a previous marriage was dissolved or annulled within Canada, the original or court certified copy of the Decree Absolute or Certificate of Divorce must be submitted. A divorce judgment is not acceptable. Certified copies may be obtained from the court which granted the divorce. Photocopies are not acceptable, and all documents will be returned. If a divorce was granted outside of Canada, additional forms must be completed.
Marriage Certificates
Applications for marriage certificates can be submitted online at www.serviceontario.ca. You can also check the status of birth, marriage and death certificate applications online.
