On the day of your wedding the Marriage License will have been completed by your officiant and signed by both of you, your witnesses and the officiant. Part 4 of the license entitled "Record of Solemnization of Marriage" is for you to keep for your records and is not a legal record of your marriage. The completed Marriage License should be mailed to the Office of the Registrar in the envelope provided to you. Twelve weeks after the date of your marriage you may apply for your Official Marriage Certificate at any Service Ontario office or at the Service Ontario website. |
