Changes to Vital Statistics Act impacting Registration of Marriage
On July 9, 2019, there are legislative and regulatory amendments to the Vital Statistics Act that are being implemented, which will have an impact on the process of the Registration of Marriage.

The following new forms and documents will be in effect on July 9, 2019:
