The Township of Guelph/Eramosa, in partnership with ServiceOntario, is excited to offer an Online Application System for applying and obtaining a marriage license.
This online system will allow you to complete forms digitally and submit supporting documentation directly through the ServiceOntario website.
Once you have completed your application, you will also be able to book an appointment with us online as well. An email link will be sent to you afterwards to review your submission.
The license fee is $158.00. Payment can be made by either:
- In-Person During Your Appointment (8348 Wellington Road 124, Rockwood, ON, N0B 2K0 – between 8:30AM – 4:00PM, Monday to Friday).
- Interact E-Transfer: clerks@get.on.ca (please include your name and marriage license in the memo field)
Note: If your supporting documentation is in a language other than English or French, you must provide a certified translation.
An application form must be completed and signed by both parties in order to obtain a marriage licence.
For In-Person drop-off, please bring your application to our Township office at 8348 Wellington Road 124, Rockwood, ON N0B 2K0 between 8:30AM – 4:00PM, Monday to Friday.
For E-mail submission, please submit to clerks@get.on.ca.
Both applicants are encouraged to attend the appointment in-person (approx. 30 minutes), however, it is only required that one applicant at minimum submit the application provided they have the proper original documents for themselves and the other applicant.
If you DID NOT upload your supporting identification documents through the online portal, you will need to bring the following ORIGINALS of your IDs to your appointment:
- Completed Application Form

- Current Government Issued Photo ID (Passport, Driver’s License, or Canadian Citizenship) for Each Partner

Photocopies or expired identification are NOT ACCEPTED. Only originals and in-date identification are permissible.
Documents in a language other than English or French must be translated by a certified translator. If you do not understand or read English, please provide your own interpreter and they must provide identification.
The Township offers a variety of options for civil marriage ceremonies at various Township facilities.
