CHURCH OF ENGLAND’S WEDDINGS PROJECT RESOURCES CENTRE
The Church Support Hub is provided to clergy and parishes by the Archbishops’ Council, and is intended to give practical resources and the latest information to support key opportunities for ministry and mission within the Church of England’s occasional offices: churchsupporthub.org/weddings.

SPECIFIED EVIDENCE CHECKLIST
Clergy are encouraged to use the ‘Specified Evidence’ checklist which has been prepared by the Diocesan Registry. This should assist the clergy in ensuring they comply with the legal requirements about seeing evidence of nationality before banns of marriage can be published.
