Marriage Registration
FCA applies for and maintains all clergy marriage registrations and requires six weeks of processing time. Marriage registration can only be held through one organization at a time. In order to maintain marriage privileges, FCA credentials must be renewed annually.

Temporary
Temporary registration is available for all ministers on an as-needed basis and for performing marriages in a province outside of their residence.

Permanent
Permanent registration is available for those ministers who hold pastoral charges in which they will have the need to perform multiple marriages annually. A minister must reside in the province in which they hold permanent registration.
Ontario requires ordination and a pastoral charge.
BC requires the minister to have a serving church to which their BC Marriage Registration Book will be issued.

Marriage registration is administrated provincially, and requirements vary between provinces. A minister must be familiar and act accordingly with the Provincial Marriage Act, and Provincial Requirements & Procedures.
