Two pieces of government issued identification are required from each applicant. One piece of identification must include a photo. Examples of government issued identification are:
- Government issued birth Certificate including any change of name certificates
- Valid Passport
- Valid Driver's Licence
- Valid Ontario photo card
- Canadian Citizenship Card

* Health cards and SIN cards are NOT an acceptable form of identification.
The issuer will take a copy of the identification provided and attach it to the marriage licence application. Only original documents or certified true copies will be accepted.
The names presented on the two pieces of identification and any supporting documentation (e.g. Certificate of Divorce) should match. Please contact Legislative and Information Services at 905-683-4550 if the ID for one or more applicants does not match.
