>Cross-regional marriage registration
婚姻登記"跨省通辦"試行

China will pilot an inter-provincial marriage registration policy to save its growing migrant population from having to return to their hometowns to register their marriage.

Under China's current regulations, marriages must be registered at the registry located in the place of household registration of the bride or groom.
