Township of King, Ont. — King Township is giving traditional wedding planning a modern twist by offering couples the convenience of applying for their marriage licences online at king.ca/marriage as part of Service Ontario’s pilot program.
Now, soon-to-be-married couples can apply for a licence online through a secure portal and submit their identification and supporting documentation electronically, before picking the licence up in-person.
Municipalities issue provincial marriage licences. Using the new system, couples can submit their documents electronically to the participating municipality. The municipality ensures the application is correct and complete and then the applicant can pick up the licence. The online process minimizes risk of errors, is efficient, saves time and reduces paper for the municipality and the applicant.
The Clerks Division at King Township offers two key marriage services:
Marriage licence application – Couples can now apply for their marriage licence and book an appointment online. Remember, a marriage licence is valid for 90 days, so it’s important to plan your appointment accordingly.
Civil marriage ceremonies – The Township also provides civil marriage ceremonies at the King Township Municipal Centre.
Civil marriage ceremonies are held in the Council Chambers at the King Township Municipal Centre. Couples are required to attend a pre-consultation meeting with the Marriage Officiant at least one week prior to the ceremony.
Marriage licence fees are $192 (tax exempt) for King Township residents and $225 (tax exempt) for non-residents.
Civil marriage ceremony fees are $325 (plus HST) for King Township residents and $475 (plus HST) for non-residents.
