Do I have to be registered in a church to be married there?

No and Yes! Canon Law does not require a Catholic to register in a local church. On the other hand, whether you are Protestant or Catholic, registering in a church is considered a normal way to demonstrate an adult decision to be a part of a church “family.” If you are desiring the services of a church for the celebration of your wedding, you would be wise to begin by “signing up.”
