Weddings in Nova Scotia are governed by the Solemnization of Marriage Act and the related Regulations on Fees and Licences. Within the Halifax Regional Municipality marriage licences can only be issued by the HRM Customer Service Offices. Outside HRM you can obtain a licence at Access Nova Scotia locations. A Justice Centre can provide you with the addresses of the sites where you can obtain a licence. Any issuer of marriage licences or a Justice Center can provide a list of those persons authorized to perform civil wedding ceremonies (generally, Judges or Justices of the Peace). If you want your ceremony to be performed in a courthouse, please contact one of the Justice Centres. See the Department of Justice’s web site for more information on Civil Wedding Ceremonies. Download the list of requirements that you need to provide to the issuer of a marriage licence.
