If there has been a previous marriage and the divorce was granted in Canada, you are required to bring the original Certificate of Divorce. A photocopy is not acceptable.

Divorce Outside of Canada

An applicant, whose former marriage was dissolved or annulled in a jurisdiction other than Canada, must obtain authorization from the Office of the Registrar General before a marriage licence may be issued.

To obtain this authorization, the applicants or a lawyer representing the applicants, must submit:

  1. A completed and signed Marriage Licence Application.
  2. A Statement of Sole Responsibility for each divorce (signed by both people who are planning to get married and a witness).
  3. The original Certificate of Divorce or the Decree or Annulment court-certified copy in English or French. If the document is in a language other than English, you will need to include a translated copy and an affidavit sworn by a certified translator.
  4. A legal opinion of an Ontario lawyer, addressed to both applicants, giving reasons why the divorce or annulment should be recognized in the Province of Ontario.

Mail these four documents to The Office of the Registrar General, P.O. Box 4600, 189 Red River Road, Thunder Bay, ON P7B 6L8.
