"What if we're British but live abroad?"

If you are both British nationals living abroad, or if you are both British nationals but just one of you lives abroad, you can apply for a Common Licence to marry in a CofE church on the basis of having one of seven legally-recognised connections with it. To see what those connections are, read more.

The Vicar of the church will help you with the Common Licence application so you need to contact them first. 

To find a church in any area of England, visit www.achurchnearyou.com. If one of you is a foreign national, read more about what you need to do.
