A religious ceremony can be solemnized by any clergy who is registered with the province (Issuers of Marriage Licenses will have a complete list).

A Civil Ceremony can be performed by a Judge of the County Court.

Applications and/or Documents Required: Bring along original copies of the following (and be sure pack these in your hand luggage, never in your checked bags):

• Certified Birth Certificate
  
• Photo ID such as passport or Drivers License
  
• If previously married, a certified copy of the final divorce decree, or death certificate of marriage ended due to death of spouse.
  

You must also know the name of the person performing the wedding ceremony and the date and place of marriage.

Residency Requirements: none

Waiting Period: none

Blood Test: none

Note: To apply for the marriage license, you must make an appointment with the Vital Statistics office. The Marriage License will be issued at the same time your application is processed, providing you are both present and have all the required documents with you.
