What It Is
If you were previously married outside of Canada and are now seeking to get married in Ontario, you may need a Foreign Divorce Opinion Letter. This legal document confirms that your previous divorce is valid under Canadian law and satisfies the marriage requirements set by ServiceOntario.
Without it, your application for a marriage licence may be delayed or denied. We help make this process fast, smooth, and stress‑free.
When You Need It
You must submit a Foreign Divorce Opinion Letter when:
• You were divorced in another country
• You plan to remarry in Ontario
• ServiceOntario has asked you to provide legal confirmation of your divorce’s validity
What’s Included
Our service includes:
• A thorough review of your foreign divorce documentation
• A legal opinion written by a licensed Ontario lawyer
• Guidance on any issues that may affect your ability to remarry
• Delivery of a signed Foreign Divorce Opinion Letter for submission to ServiceOntario
We know time is often tight. We work quickly and efficiently to get you the letter you need, usually within 2–3 business days of receiving your documents.
What You’ll Need
To begin, please send us:
- A copy of your original foreign divorce judgment (translated if not in English or French)
- Your previous marriage certificate

We’ll guide you through the full process and let you know if anything else is required.
