You need to be baptized Catholic, and have made your first Holy Communion, you need to be in a state of grace, otherwise, you need to go to confession before receiving Holy Communion. You must be fasting for one hour prior to receiving Holy Communion.
If divorced, you need to get an annulment before attempting marriage again.
If married, you need to be married before a Catholic priest, or dispensed from such by your Bishop.

How do you receive holy communiom?
There are different ways you can receive holy communion. When you walk up to the Priest or the person giving out communion, you place or hands out one over the other. The person giving out communion will say the body of christ, you will then say amen. As you walk back to your seat you can then choose to cross or to not.

Can a catholic married to non-catholic in civil ceremony receive communion?
This is a difficult question to dissect. I think what you mean is that a Catholic gets married to a Non-Catholic in a Civil Ceremony and then sometime later wants to receive Communion. Any Catholic can receive Communion and should, as long as they are not aware of any mortal sin. In this situation, Catholics must be married in the Catholic Church or receive a dispensation to be married elsewhere. If this is not done, it is a grave offense (mortal sin) and a confession is required before going to Communion again.
