Marriage Licences
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thinking about getting married? In Ontario, you must have a marriage Licence to legally start your new life together. To obtain a marriage Licence, ensure both you and your partner meet the criteria below, and then simply visit the nearest Ottawa Client Service Centre. You may want to download and print the marriage Licence application form directly from the Ministry of Consumer and Business Services, prior to your visit. Make sure both partners sign the application form before attending in person. May to August are the busiest months, with many couples getting married. If you plan on going to the City Hall Client Service Centre, we strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment by calling 613-580-2453 to minimize delays; appointments are not required for any other Centre. If you and your partner have included all the required information, your marriage Licence can usually be issued the day of your visit. Congratulations!
The Details
Identification
Either partner may attend in person and make application; however, two pieces of original valid identification (no copies permitted), as outlined below, must be presented for both parties in order for a marriage Licence to be issued.
1st piece of identification must be any of the following:
a birth certificate* (including any change of name certificates) *(see age requirements below); or
a current passport; or
a record of immigrant landing; or
a Canadian citizenship card.
2nd piece of identification must be in the form of a government-issued photo identification, and must be presented for both parties of the intended marriage. Acceptable identification includes:
a valid driver's licence; or
a valid passport; or
a BYID age of majority card.
Note: HEALTH CARDS ARE NOT ACCEPTED AS IDENTIFICATION.
Age requirements
If you are 21 years of age or older, proof of identity as outlined above is required.
If you are under 21, proof of age in the form of a BIRTH CERTIFICATE is the only acceptable 1st piece of identification. Any of the 2nd pieces of government-issued photo identification described above must also be presented.
If you are 16 or 17 years of age, parental consent is a must. Please contact the office for further details 613-580-2453.
A person under the age of 16 is not permitted to marry in the Province of Ontario.
Gender
The City of Ottawa issues marriage Licences to all eligible couples. Same-sex couples have been receiving marriage Licences since June 11, 2003, following the June 10, 2003 Ontario Court of Appeal decision making same-sex marriages legal in Ontario.
Validity
A marriage Licence is valid for use anywhere in Ontario for three months after its issue date. If you plan to marry outside of the province or the country, be sure to verify the requirements for the appropriate jurisdiction.
Marriage after divorce
If you were divorced in Canada, you must provide the original certificate of divorce, absolute decree, or a court-certified copy of either; certified copies can be obtained from the court office that granted the divorce. Photocopies and divorce judgements will not be accepted. All documents will be returned.
If your divorce was granted outside of Canada, please visit your nearest client-service centre or contact us at 613-580-2453 for the appropriate steps.
Declaration
When applying for a marriage Licence, you are required to certify information under oath. If you do not understand or are not able to read English or French, please bring an interpreter to assist you.
Citizenship
There are no limitations on citizenship or residency when applying for a marriage Licence in Ontario.
Health analysis
Blood tests and medical certificates are not necessary for marriage-Licence application in Ontario.
