Apply for a Marriage Licence

Marriage licenses can be issued by the Town of Grand Valley, within 3 months of the proposed date of marriage.

You will need to complete an Ontario Marriage License Application Form and submit it to the Town Hall located at 5 Main Street North from Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.  You can also apply for your marriage license online at the following link Getting married/ontario.ca

You will require an appointment to obtain your marriage license.  We encourage both applicants attend together; however, if only one person can attend, they will need proper documents for the absent person. Two pieces of government issued identification will be required.

To set up an appointment for requesting a marriage license, please call the Municipal Office at 519-928-5652 or email us at info@townofgrandvalley.ca.

Upon arrival at your booked appointment, your application will be processed as you wait and you will leave with an official marriage license. Marriage licenses are valid for 90 days from the date of issue. 

If previously married, an original or court certified copy of the decree absolute or an original Certificate of Divorce is required. Divorce judgements and orders are not acceptable, nor are photocopies. 

The fee for a marriage license is $115.00, payable by cash, debit or credit card.

Along with your completed Marriage License Application form, both applicants will need to have two pieces of government issued identification. Once piece must be photo ID. Valid government ID includes a:

  • Birth certificate, including any change of name certificates
  • Valid passport
  • Record of immigration landing
  • Canadian Citizenship Card
  • Valid driver's license
  • Valid Ontario Photo Card

If both applicants can't attend in person, one applicant can bring the above identification requirements for both applicants.

If you are divorced or widowed and applying for a marriage license, you will need to review the Government of Ontario guidelines to make sure you have all of the necessary paperwork.

In order to get a marriage license in Ontario, you must be at least 16 years of age. Review the Government of Ontario age regulations to determine what you need to get a marriage license under the age of 18.
