To Do Before 'I Do'
To ensure your wedding goes off without a hitch,
get your paperwork in order.
Alberta Marriage Licence: This is your licence to
wed, and it's valid for 90 days from the date of
issue, in Alberta. To obtain one, both members of a
couple must apply in person at a registry office.
At
AMA Registries, you'll each need your AMA
membership card, one piece of personal ID with
your current legal name and address and divorce
certificates if applicable.
Event Liability Insurance: The last thing you
want is to be on the hook for millions if you're
found legally responsible for damages or injuries
sustained during your wedding. Choose from
liability limits up to $5 million, bodily injury and
property damage liability, host liquor liability
and more.
Marriage Certificate: You apply for this after
the wedding to prove you're legally married.
Members can apply at any
AMA Registries
office by presenting their membership card, one
piece of personal ID and a completed marriage-
document application.
Name Change Application: If you choose to
change your name after getting married,
AMA
can help you update your driver's licence,
vehicle registration, Alberta Health Care,
AMA
Insurance documents and membership card.
