All Licensed Officiants are responsible to mail the completed Marriage Licence to the 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. A Record of Solemnization is not the same as a marriage certificate. It does contain your marriage license number which is required for the marriage certificate application.

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 following your wedding.

You can order a marriage certificate on-line or by written application at any time after your ceremony date.
