FULL LEGAL CEREMONY (Religious & Civil Ceremony)

 

In accordance with Law No. Of 1974 concerning marriages in Indonesia (Article 2(1): “A marriage is legitimate if it has been performed according to the laws of respective religious beliefs of the parties concerned”.

 

All couple who marry in Indonesia must declare a religion. Agnosticism and Atheism are not recognized. The Civil Registry Office can record marriages of persons of Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian-Protestant and Christian-Catholic faiths. Marriage partners must have the same religion; otherwise one partner must a make a written declaration of change of religion.

 

The Religious Marriage under Islam is performed by the Office of Religious affairs (Kantor Urusan Agama) in a ceremony at a Mosque, the home, a restaurant or any other place chosen by the couple and is legal immediately after the ceremony.

 

A Christian, Hindu or Buddhist marriage is usually performed first in a church or temple ceremony. After the religious ceremony, every non-Islamic marriage must be recorded with the Civil Registry (Kantor Catatan Sipil). Without the registration by the Civil Registry these marriages are not legal. Recording by Civil Registry officials can be performed directly at the religious ceremony for an additional fee.

 

Persons of non-Islamic faith are required with the Civil Registry Office in the Regency where they are staying first a “notice of Intention to marry’ as well as a ‘Letter of No Impediment’ obtained from their consular representative.

 

  

RELIGIOUS CEREMONY ONLY

 

A Religious ceremony must be performed before a Civil Ceremony. Therefore for those who will or have already been legally married in their country but wish exchange their vows or even renew their vows may take this type of service. Indonesia will marry any couples that are of the 5 religions recognized by this country (Protestant, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist and Moslem) and actually prefer that the couples be of the same religion belief. A representative performs the religious ceremony of the couple’s own religious belief i.e. Protestant couple may not have a Hindu Ceremony.
