The application asks applicants and an identifying witness for personal details, residence information, prior marital or civil union status, and ceremony plans.

Its oath is sworn and subscribed before the registrar, who signs the form, and the completed application is retained as a permanent record.
Who needs it

Frequently asked questions
- Does this application need to be notarized?

- Complete the application with the identifying witness and contact the appropriate registrar about submission. The form says the application is retained as a permanent record and provides municipality and residence rules.
- Do I need to sign in front of a notary?
