Obtaining a marriage licence
Before you say your vows, a lot of work and preparation is involved in planning the perfect wedding day – including getting a marriage licence. The Office of the City Clerk issues marriage licences at Vaughan City Hall by appointment only between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. One or both applicants must come in person to receive the marriage licence.
You must present the following at your appointment:
Marriage Licence Application form (PDF), completed and signed by both applicants
Two pieces of original government-issued identification for both applicants, such as a birth certificate, passport, driver’s licence or Ontario photo identification card. Photocopies of documentation are not accepted
Licence fee of $184.30, made payable to the City of Vaughan via cheque, debit, Visa or MasterCard
Proof of minimum age requirements. Applicants under 18 years of age require written consent from their legal guardian(s)
The City also offers civil marriage ceremonies at Vaughan City Hall as well as off-site ceremonies and vow renewals. For more information on marriage licences, appointment bookings and requirements and more, visit the City’s Marriage Services webpage.
