Thinking about getting married? In Ontario, you must have a marriage license to legally start your new life together. Make sure both partners sign the application form before attending in person. If you and your partner have included all the required information, your marriage license can usually be issued the day of your visit either partner may attend in person and make application. The marriage application form must be signed by both parties and presented with two pieces of original valid identification for both parties in order for a marriage license to be issued. Copies will not be accepted.
Licence fee The City of Ottawa charges a $150 service fee for a marriage license. This fee is payable by cash, cheque, Interac, Visa or MasterCard. Marriage license fees are non-refundable.
