The Confirmation of Marriage Letter is a crucial document issued by Canadian government authorities to verify the existence and legitimacy of a marriage. This document is commonly required for various purposes, including immigration applications, name changes, benefit claims, or international travel. The letter contains verified information from official marriage records, including the full names of both spouses, the date and location of the marriage, and the marriage registration number. As an official document governed by Canadian federal and provincial legislation, it carries legal weight and can be used as evidence of marital status. The Confirmation of Marriage Letter may require additional authentication, such as an apostille, when used internationally, and must comply with both the federal Civil Marriage Act and provincial vital statistics regulations.
