    Prior to getting married in PEI couples must obtain a marriage licence. There are multiple locations across the Island where people can book an appointment to apply. Once approved, licences are issued on the spot so there is no wait time for processing. A marriage licence is valid for 3 months from the date of issue.

    Note: Couples can also apply, as part of the licensing process and for an additional fee, to receive their official marriage certificate once the marriage takes place and is registered instead of applying for the certificate separately at a later date.
