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

    • record of immigrant landing
    • Canadian Citizenship Card
    • valid driver's licence
