How to get married in Vancouver - Getting the Marriage License

June 27, 2006 · 4 Comments

Once you have decided to get married in Vancouver, one member of the couple getting married needs to apply for a Marriage License with a Marriage License Issuer.  The marriage license is valid for up to three months from the date issued and costs $100 CDN dollars (cash).

When we applied for the marriage certificate, we supplied the following information for each person:

  • Passport
  • Full legal name
  • Marriage status
  • Current address
  • Phone number
  • Birth date / location

Please remember to have all the information for EACH PERSON before visiting the Marriage License issuer.  You can review the PDF form used to obtain a marriage license. You can also search the database of Marriage License Issuers.

    How are you having trouble? For me it was open and shut! Each of us had a Visa, we arrived and entered the country.
