  • Original divorce papers, if applicable.
  • Consent form, if applicable. 
  • Marriage Licence Application Form duly completed and signed. If you have difficulty opening the form, please visit our main office for a paper copy.

 

Once issued, the marriage licence will be valid for 3 months and anywhere in Ontario.

The fee for the marriage licence is $150.00. We accept Interac and cash only.
