Keeping organized - legal paperwork

Geneviève, on January 13, 2020 at 12:59 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 6

Planning involves a lot of organization and attention to detail, but one area that often gets pushed by the wayside is legal paperwork!
Often forgotten, when you do remember, it feels overwhelming. Don’t panic! We’re here to help!
Here is where you can post any questions about getting your legal paperwork together for all aspects of your day. Feel free to ask about:

- contracts

- marriage licenses, and out of province applications

- passport changes

- name changes

- Wills and Estates planning once you're married

- where does all of it go once it’s filled out!?

- what comes first?

With some organization, it’ll all be smooth sailing!

    I believe you have to pay for the whole thing again as if you were renewing it.

    I got a 5 year passport right before we got engaged just incase lol... this way I didn't have to pay twice. I think I only have 2 years left on mine so its not as bad!

    It’s not a tricky process but if you change your name, you do have to apply for a new passport, at the regular cost. I feel you, I’m going to lose half the time on my 10 year passport too.

    This is a great discussion!


    Also keep in mind about wills and estate planning, if couples haven't already done so! My FH and I need to get on this as well once we're married.

    I need to figure out how complicated changing my passport can be. I got a ten year one about 2 years ago and I've barely used it, I'll be sad to see it go to waste if I decide to change my name and need a new one.
