Alberta > Marriage:Must we get a licence to marry?Yes, you must get a marriage licence. You may easily get your licence at any of the numerous registry offices that have sprung up around the province since the government privatized these services. Look in the yellow pages under Registries for an office near you, or check http://governmentservices.gov.ab.ca/ra/ran.cfm. Both you and your spouse-to-be must fill out some forms with personal information and swear that the information given is true. You must also provide identification that proves your age. If you have been married before, you must provide proof of a valid divorce. No medical information or blood tests are required, except under certain rare circumstances. The cost for a marriage licence is currently $40, and it is valid for three months from the date it is issued.
