Marriage Licences - Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I purchase a marriage licence?

Just contact your local Deputy Issuer of Marriage Licences for further details.

Do I have to change my last name when I get married?

No, you may retain the use of your current surname if you wish.

I am getting married outside Nova Scotia, do I have to do anything with Vital Statistics?

No. All the licensing documentation requirements will be according to the laws of that jurisdiction. The marriage event will be registered where it took place, outside Nova Scotia.
