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 hivi 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 hivi makes it faster

1. Store both partners once. Keep each applicant's identity, address, and parents' details in hivi.
2. Fill from two profiles. The shared application pulls from both saved profiles, so neither partner re-types their facts.
3. Autofill it. Use the hivi Chrome extension on online forms, or fill a PDF from your saved details inside hivi.
4. Review and apply yourself. You verify both sides and apply through your municipality with the required ID.

Why do it in hivi

The same names, birthplaces and parent details show up again on certificates, name changes and other family paperwork. Captured once in hivi — stored in Canada with self-hosted AI — they speed up everything that follows the wedding.
