Frequently Asked Questions

Do I always need a Foreign Divorce Opinion Letter to remarry in Ontario?

Yes — if your divorce was granted outside Canada, Ontario requires a Foreign Divorce Opinion Letter before any municipality can issue your marriage licence. This is a provincial requirement set by the Registrar General, not just individual city policy. If your divorce was granted in Canada, this letter is not required.

How fast can I receive my opinion letter?

Depending on the package selected, your letter can be ready within 24 or 48 hours after documents and payment are received.

What if my documents aren’t in English or French?

A certified translation is typically required. We’ll let you know what’s acceptable.

Can you submit the documents on my behalf?

Yes. Our Complete package includes document submission and courier services.

What if I’m not sure I have all the required documents?

Submit what you have. We’ll guide you on what’s missing and how to obtain it.
