- Head over to the Service Ontario website and print off a marriage application form. You can also grab a physical copy from a Registry Services office.
- Fill out the form and make sure everything on it is correct. Both of you also need to sign it.
- Then head on down to a Registry Services office (we’ll likely do either City Hall or Etobicoke Civic Centre) Monday through Friday, from 8:30 am-4:15 pm. You’ll need to both be there and you need you bring your form, a piece of government-issued photo ID that shows your current legal name and a way to pay for the fee.
- For Toronto, that fee is $130 (it can be cheaper in other cities) and can be paid by cash, money order, certified cheque, debit or major credit card.
- A license is good for three month from the date of issue and is valid for anywhere in Ontario. This means that if you’re getting married in Toronto but you two can’t make it to a Toronto Registry Services office during business hours but can say, make it to the Oakville one, go to the Oakville one, you license will be good.
There are no citizenship/residency requirements for applying for a marriage license, there’s no required blood or medical tests and of course there’s no gender requirements either. But you do need to be 18 or, if you’re 16-17, have your parents’ permission.
Got more questions? Maybe Service Ontario can help.
