A bride whose name was misspelled on her marriage certificate sought our help after waiting in vain for ServiceOntario to send her a form to request a correction. We discovered that the original handwritten marriage certificate had the correct spelling, but her name had been incorrectly typed into the Registrar General’s system.
RESULT: We provided this information to the woman so she could include it in her request for a correction. She told us: “You’re a lifesaver, you really are.”
