Temporary Clergy License Requests
Currently licensed workers in The Alliance Canada (C&MA) may request a temporary clergy license in order to officiate a wedding in British Columbia. A clergy number is required to officiate a wedding.
Former workers who were both previously ordained and were licensed in the C&MA within the last five years may also apply. Please read the Licenses for the Solemnization of Marriage Policy before submitting the information below in order to determine your eligibility.
Applicants should request a temporary license as soon as possible, ideally with a minimum of four weeks in advance of the wedding date in order for the request to be processed in time. Please note that it may take additional time for Vital Statistics to process applications.
For any questions on clergy licenses, please contact Josh at joshuac@pacificdistrict.ca.
