Service Timmins Launches Online Marriage Licence Applications

Service Timmins is one of six Ontario municipalities taking part in a pilot project that will streamline the marriage licence application process. Through the Marriage Licence Modernization Project, couples can now request a marriage licence online and once approved, pick up and pay for their completed licence at Service Timmins in City Hall.

Completing the online application will take 25-30 minutes and both applicants must be present to submit the application and pick up the licence. All required information and supporting documents must be approved in person at the time the licence is issued.

“Service Timmins is happy to participate in a project that will help us modernize one of our services,” says Director of Community Services, Steph Palmateer. “We typically receive roughly 200 marriage licence applications each year. By submitting the initial application online, residents can save time and have their application approved within 1-2 business days, provided that all required documents are submitted.”

Applying for and receiving a marriage licence comes with the standard $175 fee and the license is valid for use in Ontario for a period of three months.
