Birth, Death, and Marriage

Your local Clerk’s Office is designated by the Registrar General’s Office as the local Division Registrar for Births, Deaths, and Issuer of Marriage Licences. Marriage licences are issued through this office and births and deaths that take place in the municipality of the County of Brant are registered through this office.

Are you getting married in the Province of Ontario?
There is an application form to be filled out and signed. We require photo identification and proof of age for both parties to the marriage. If you or your fiancé have been married before, we may require other documents, so please contact our office for up to date information. The licence is valid only in the Province of Ontario.

Are you getting married in another province, territory or country?
If you are getting married outside of the Province of Ontario you need to obtain a licence from the province, territory or country where the marriage will take place. Marriage laws including residency requirements may vary from place to place. If you are getting married while on vacation, your travel agent may be able to assist you with your arrangements.
