Vital Statistics

Getting Married in Manitoba...

Marriages in Manitoba are performed by authorized clergy and marriage commissioners who are registered with Vital Statistics.

Couples can choose a religious ceremony solemnized by a registered member of the clergy or a civil ceremony with a licenced marriage commissioner.

Before the ceremony, the marriage licence and other documents are given to the clergy or marriage commissioner who completes the Registration of Marriage. This form is signed by the parties to the marriage and their witnesses after the ceremony. The clergy or marriage commissioner sends the registration to Vital Statistics where it is registered, coded for statistical reporting and microfilmed for permanent retention.

It is from this Registration of Marriage that certificates are issued.
