Applicants are encouraged to email a copy of their application form to the Municipal Clerk and schedule an appointment time. ID and payment will be required at the time of pick up.
Marriage licence requirements
No person under 16 years of age may be married in Ontario. An applicant that is 16 or 17 years of age is required to have both parents or guardian(s) written consent.
For applicants divorced in Canada, include an original or court-certified copy of the Final Decree, Final Judgment or Certificate of Divorce with the application. This certificate will have a seal and original signature. No photocopies will be accepted.
- If the divorce was granted outside of Canada, please review Service Ontario's Getting Married in Ontario page.
The marriage ceremony must take place within 3 months of the date of the issue of the marriage license.
Please contact the Municipal Office in advance to ensure that someone is available to issue the licence when you arrive.
The fee for a Marriage Licence is $120.00 payable to the Municipality of Huron East by cash, debit or cheque.
