Name Change
All specific questions related to Marriage Certificates and name changes are handled through the Office of the Registrar General of Ontario (1.800.461.2156)
All Licensed Officiants are responsible to mail the completed Marriage Licence to Office of the Registrar General in Thunder Bay within 48 hours of your wedding.
The Record of Solemnization (tear off portion of the licence) is given to each couple on the day of the wedding.
It is not the practice of the licensing office in Thunder Bay to issue a receipt or acknowledgment of registering your marriage. To receive your official Marriage Certificate you must apply for it 12 weeks following your wedding. If you do not apply for a Marriage Certificate, you will not receive one.
I will always follow the policies and procedures of the Ontario government and my licensing body.
