In Ontario, does it matter which municipality issues the marriage license?
<p>The <a href="https://www.ontario.ca/page/getting-married" rel="nofollow">Ontario government web page</a> tells you how to go to City Hall or a Municipal Office and get a marriage license. However, it doesn't say you can go to whatever municipality you feel like, nor does it tell you how to choose.</p>

<p>If a couple are both living in City A, and the ceremony will be in City B, must they get their license from A or B? Does it matter? If they both work in C and it's easier to stop by the C offices at lunchtime, is that OK? Or could there be a problem if the certificate was issued by the "wrong" municipality?</p>

<p><strong>Any municipality is fine</strong></p>

<p>In addition, they could get married in a different province and it would be a valid marriage in Ontario. They could also get married in a different country with which Canada has agreed to honour their marriages (i.e. most of them) unless they offend Canadian law (e.g. bigamy, child marriage etc.)</p>
