How to apply for an Ontario marriage licence — and autofill it with my-id.ca
Apply for an Ontario marriage licence with both partners' details ready
A marriage licence application is unusual because it needs two complete sets of personal details — names, birthplaces, parents, addresses — plus government ID. This guide is an example of storing both partners' information in my-id.ca so the form fills cleanly.
Official form and source
Marriage licences are issued by municipalities on the provincial form — start from the official source and use the current version:
- Service page: Apply for a marriage licence online — ontario.ca
- Form (Central Forms Repository): Marriage Licence Application (Marriage Act, Form 3) — 007-11018
What this form is about
The application gathers the information your municipality needs to issue a marriage licence under Ontario rules. Both applicants' facts must be accurate and match their identification.
Before you start: what to gather (for each applicant)
- Full legal name, date of birth, and place of birth.
- Current address.
- Parents' full names and their birthplaces.
- Previous-marriage details, if applicable.
- Government-issued identification for both applicants.
Marriage licences are issued by municipalities — confirm your city's current requirements and fee on ontario.ca or your municipal website.
How my-id.ca makes it faster
- Store both partners once. Keep each applicant's identity, address, and parents' details in my-id.ca.
- Fill from two profiles. The shared application pulls from both saved profiles, so neither partner re-types their facts.
- Autofill it. Use the my-id.ca Chrome extension on online forms, or fill a PDF from your saved details inside my-id.ca.
- Review and apply yourself. You verify both sides and apply through your municipality with the required ID.
Why do it in my-id.ca
The same names, birthplaces and parent details show up again on certificates, name changes and other family paperwork. Captured once in my-id.ca — stored in Canada with self-hosted AI — they speed up everything that follows the wedding.
