Civil status
In order to get married or enter into a civil union in Québec, you must be free from any previous bond of marriage or civil union, which means you are single, divorced or widowed.
The law requires your officiant to verify your civil status before the solemnization. To do so, the officiant must ask you, as the case may be, for the original death certificate of your former spouse, or a certified true copy of your certificate of divorce or absolute decree of divorce.
