Getting married in Alberta

Canada has had marriage equality nationwide since 2005, and there’s no residency requirement, so couples from anywhere can marry here. Alberta is home to some of the most dramatic elopement spots in the world, from the Rockies to the badlands.

The legal bit

Apply together at a registry agent office. There’s no waiting period, so you can marry the same day, and the licence is valid for 3 months for a wedding in Alberta. The government fee is $40, plus the registry agent’s service fee. Alberta also offers a temporary marriage commissioner option, so ask the province if you’d like someone you know to officiate.

Where couples are saying yes

Think a mountaintop elopement in the Rockies, three days of lakeside vows in Banff and a sunset elopement in Drumheller.

Questions couples ask

Can we marry in Alberta if we do not live in Canada?

Yes. Canada has no residency requirement for marriage.

Is there a waiting period in Alberta?

No. You can marry the same day your licence is issued.

How long is an Alberta marriage licence valid?

3 months from the date of issue, for a wedding in Alberta.

Can a friend officiate in Alberta?

Alberta offers a temporary marriage commissioner option. Check the province’s requirements early.

Legal details last checked October 2026 against the Government of Alberta.
