FEES INCREASING FOR MARRIAGE LICENSE AND MARRIAGE COMMISSIONER SERVICES

Released on December 17, 2010

The Government of Saskatchewan has introduced changes to The Marriage Regulations, 1997. The changes will increase the fee for a marriage licence and the fee for a marriage commissioner.

"The proposed change is for marriage licence issuers and marriage commissioners," Justice Minister Don Morgan said. "It will not increase revenue for government."

The cost of a marriage license will increase from $50 to $60. Marriage commissioner fees will increase from $50 to $75. The changes will allow a marriage commissioner to charge an extra $25 if the couple wants the commissioner to attend a rehearsal or other meeting. The total cost of a wedding, using a marriage commissioner, will increase from $100 to $135. If the couple wants the commissioner to attend a rehearsal the total is $160. The fee increase will take effect January 1, 2011.

The Marriage Regulations, 1997 have not been changed since they came into effect.
