Marriages

Couples should make sure they meet all Provincial requirements for marriage in Ontario before applying. 

Couples who are getting married in Ontario need to download and complete a Marriage Licence Application. The completed application can be emailed to marriages@trenthills.ca 

After reviewing your application, staff will contact you to make an appointment to obtain your marriage licence.

When you visit the office, you will need to bring the following documentation:

  • The Marriage Licence Application which will need to be signed and dated by both partners. If only 1 partner is attending, the other partner will need to have signed the form at home 
  • 2 pieces of government issued identification for each partner. 1 piece of identification must include your photo. If 1 partner is not attending, you are still required to bring their identification. Examples of government issued identification:
    • government issued birth certificate, including any change of name certificates
    • valid passport
    • record of immigrant landing
    • Canadian Citizenship Card
    • valid driver's licence
    • valid Ontario Photo card
  • If either partner has been divorced, we require an original certificate of divorce to be brought to the office. A divorce order will not suffice
  • Payment method for the fee for the Marriage Licence
