Curbside marriage licences now available

Wedding bells will be ringing! The City of Vaughan is now offering curbside marriage licences to couples looking to tie the knot. While the global COVID-19 pandemic persists, licences will be issued by appointment only and available for curbside pickup at Vaughan City Hall. 

The Office of the City Clerk will be accepting appointments for July marriage licences from Monday, June 29 until Friday, July 10. To arrange a curbside booking, please email registrationservices@vaughan.ca. Limited spots are available. Appointments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis every Wednesday between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Interested couples will be contacted by staff with additional details, including documentation and scheduling information, if accepted. 

Residents must present the following at their appointment for the marriage licence to be issued:

• Marriage Licence Application form (PDF), completed and signed by both applicants
• Original government-issued identification for both applicants, including a birth certificate or passport, and a valid photo ID such as a driver’s licence or Ontario photo card. Photocopies of documentation are not accepted
• Licence fee of $170, which can be made payable to the City of Vaughan via cheque
• Proof of minimum age requirements. Applicants under 18 years of age require written consent from their legal guardian 

While Vaughan City Hall remains closed to the public, the City will not be scheduling or conducting civil marriage ceremonies.
