Applying for a certificate of legal capacity to marry in Canada

Are you a Dutch national living in Canada and you need a certificate of legal capacity to marry? To get married in Canada, you do not need a certificate of legal capacity to marry. In Canada you can apply for a Search of Marriage record at a Provincial Vital Statistics Office.

Warning: Are you a Dutch national living in the Netherlands (or have you lived in the Netherlands previously)? You can get a certificate of legal capacity to marry from the Dutch municipality where you live or the last municipality you lived in before you left the Netherlands. Go to the website of the relevant municipality for more information.
