Please note that the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc does not conduct civil marriage ceremonies. For an up-to-date listing of registered officials who may conduct marriage ceremonies, please refer to the provincial registry.
Obtain a Marriage Licence
Licences may be obtained in person at the municipal office for marriage ceremonies taking place anywhere in the province of Ontario. Licences are issued no more than three months prior to the date of the ceremony.
To get a marriage licence, you will need to:
- Fill out a marriage licence application, including the signatures of both applicants (applications are available at the municipal office, or may be downloaded and completed)
- Bring the completed application to the municipal office
- Show 2 pieces of original identification for both applicants. A birth certificate is required, as well as one piece of government-issued photo identification, such as a passport, driver's licence, or health card (no photocopies; originals are required)
- Final proof of divorce, if applicable (original documents only)
- Pay a $100 application fee (cash or debit only)
If you were divorced outside of Canada and wish to re-marry, please follow this link to see what documentation the Province of Ontario requires before a marriage licence can be issued by the municipal office.
Order a Marriage Certificate
After the marriage ceremony, your chosen officiate mails your completed marriage licence for registration to the Office of the Registrar General. Marriage certificates can only be obtained from the Registrar General. No marriage documentation is held at the municipal office.
