As of January 1, 2022, the Township of South-West Oxford has discontinued providing dog licenses to our residents. It is the responsibility of the pet owner to provide identification for their pet (e.g., a dog tag from a pet store, a microchip, etc.) Dog licensing fees will no longer be added to taxes. Failure to have proper identification on your pet may result in a $150.00 fine per occurrence. 
Marriage License

Marriage License Application Form

A marriage license is a required official permit that enables the couple to have a marriage ceremony. It is a prerequisite in obtaining an official Marriage Certificate from the province. The Township of South-West Oxford issues marriage licenses that can be used to marry anywhere in Ontario (we issue licenses for outside the County). There is no waiting period for a marriage license. The license is valid immediately once issued. A Marriage License is valid anywhere in Ontario for 90 days from the date it is issued. Should the 90 day period expire, another license must be purchased. No refunds can be provided for marriage licenses issued.

To obtain a marriage license, an application form must be filled out and must have the original signatures from both applicants. Only one applicant is required to attend the in-person appointment, but must bring the signed application form and government-issued photo identification for both applicants. Identification must be valid (cannot be expired). An appointment is required to obtain a marriage license, please call 519-485-0477 x 7023 to book an appointment with the Clerk prior to visiting our office. The fee for a marriage license is $100.00 (no HST) and can be payable by cash, cheque, or debit.

Government-issued photo identification and proof of citizenship is required for both applicants. Acceptable identification includes:

  • Original Birth Certificate
  • Valid drivers licence with photo
  • Valid passport
  • Canadian Citizenship card with photo
  • Native Status card with photo
  • Record of Immigration Landing with photo
  • Age of Majority card with photo  

Applicants Aged 16 and 17 Years

Applicants aged 16 and 17 must have the written consent of their parents. Further information with respect to these situations is available from the Clerk's Office.

Divorced Applicants

Widowed Applicants

Applicants who are widowed are not required to provide proof of the death of their spouse.
