Marriage licences are issued through the Clerks Division at the municipal office located at 2585 King Road, King City, during regular office hours.
Appointments are required and may be booked by calling (905) 833-4069 or emailing clerks@king.ca. Instructions will be provided to you regarding the marriage licence issuance process due to COVID-19. Please allow 30 minutes for the issuance of your marriage licence. Please do not forward any personal identification to this email account.
2022 Fee: $181.00 (tax exempt) and may be paid by Cash, Interac, Visa or MasterCard.
Applicants must complete the Marriage Licence Application Form and bring two pieces of original government issued identification to the appointment (original valid pieces, photocopies or scanned documents are not accepted). If only one applicant is attending the appointment, please ensure you bring the joint applicant's identification to the appointment. A Marriage Licence is valid for use anywhere in the Province of Ontario for a period of 90 days from the date of issuance.
It is essential for you to know the date and location of where you plan to get married in order to process the marriage licence.
