What Happens After the Marriage Ceremony? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Applying for a Marriage Certificate After your marriage ceremony, you will receive a Record of Solemnization of Marriage. This is not the same as a Marriage Certificate as Marriage Certificates are not issued automatically. A Marriage Certificate is the official record containing the details of your marriage performed in Ontario. Before you can get a Marriage Certificate, your marriage needs to be registered. The officiant who performed the marriage will send your completed and signed Marriage Licence to ServiceOntario so the marriage can be registered. You can order a marriage certificate approximately 6-8 weeks after this happens.

You should change all your identification documents to reflect the new last name. To change your last name on these documents, visit a ServiceOntario centre with your:
When updating your last name on documents issued by other organizations, contact each organization that you have an account with and ask what they require to make the change. Most organizations will ask you to show a copy of your marriage certificate. |
