After the Ceremony
I will place the Record of Solemnization (tear off portion) from the marriage licence into a white envelope which I will leave with a designated person. This is your portion to keep.
I will mail the rest of the Marriage Licence to the Registrar Generals Office where your information and marriage will be registered. You will not receive any notice or any paperwork from the government confirming the registration.
You must order a marriage certificate, one is not automatically mailed by the Registrar Generals Office. Read carefully the information about name change and the Certificate of Marriage on the Service Ontario website.
Please note that your officiant is not responsible or able to purchase your marriage certificate on your behalf.
