Getting married in Manitoba is a three-step process. As an authorized marriage license issuer, Immijet Immigration Services can help you get started with the very first step.
Here is a simple overview of the process:
Step 1: Get Your Marriage License
This is the most important legal document you need before your ceremony.
-
- Where to Get It: You can get your official marriage license right from our Immijet Immigration Services office. We are authorized by the Government of Manitoba to issue them.
-
- When: You must buy the license at least 24 hours before your wedding ceremony. It is valid for three months.
-
- What You Need: Both partners must be present and provide valid, original government-issued photo ID (like a passport, driver’s license, or PR card). If you were married before, you must bring proof of divorce or a death certificate.
Step 2: Have Your Wedding Ceremony
Once you have your license, you can get married!
-
- Your ceremony must be performed by a registered Marriage Commissioner or a religious official (clergy). ImmiJet Immigration can arrange a Marriage Commissioner for you as well!
-
- You will also need two witnesses to be present at the ceremony.
-
- After the ceremony, you, your witnesses, and your officiant will all sign the marriage license document.
