Marriage Commissioner
What do I need to get married?
The bare essentials you need to get married are two people who want to be married, two witnesses, a marriage licence, and a licensed marriage commissioner (like me!). Anything else you want to add (rings, guests, fancy clothes, food...) that's all icing on the cake, if you will.
Who can get married?
Any two unmarried people who are consenting can get married in Saskatchewan. There are special requirements if you are under 18.
How Do I Get A Marriage Licence?
You can purchase a marriage licence from any of the following locations in Regina:
A Tymeless Event (By Appointment Only)
Aurelia Goldsmith Bullion Broker
Madni Islamic Centre & Mosque
Notary Public Regina
Paper Umbrella
Paris Jewellers (Southland Mall)
Quality Goldsmiths Ltd.

*Note: You do not have to purchase a marriage licence in your home city/town, or in the city/town you intend to be married in. It just has to be from Saskatchewan.
When Can I Get Married?
After you have your marriage licence, you can get married at anytime 24 hours after that purchase, or within 90 days of purchase.
What Is The Difference Between A Religious And Civil Ceremony? Are They Both Legal?
Both religious and civil ceremonies are legal in Saskatchewan. The main difference is that a religious ceremony is performed by a religious official and may include religious elements, while a civil ceremony is performed by a marriage commissioner and is non-religious. Both require the same legal documentation and are equally valid under Saskatchewan law.
Does My Name Change Automatically When I Get Married?
No, your name does not change automatically when you get married. If you wish to change your name, you will need to obtain the Official Marriage Certificate from eHealth Saskatchewan after your marriage ceremony and then follow the name change process with the appropriate government agencies.
How Do I Get A Marriage Certificate?
At your marriage ceremony, you will receive an unofficial marriage certificate. To obtain the official marriage certificate, you must order it from eHealth Saskatchewan. For the complete process and requirements, visit
