Getting married in Prince Edward Island: marriage licence, fees and documents

How to get a marriage licence in Prince Edward Island: age, where to apply, documents, fee and how long it is valid, from the official pages.

Getting a marriage licence

You need a PEI licence to marry on PEI; both apply together and the licence is issued on the spot and valid three months. You must be 18 or older (consent rules apply under 18; no one under 16 can marry). Bring proof that any earlier marriage ended. If one of you does not speak English, bring a registered translator; foreign-language documents need a notarized translation. The page we read does not give the current fee.

After the ceremony

The officiant registers the marriage with the province; you then order a marriage certificate separately, and can change your name on your documents using it (see our documents and ID page).
