Everything
You Need to Know About Getting Married in Bali MARRIAGE LAWS, LICENCES AND CERTIFICATES
Bali is part of the Republic of Indonesia
and is subject to Indonesian Laws. Every couple considering
getting married in Bali must comply with these Laws.
In accordance with Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning
marriages in Indonesia (Article 2 (1): “a marriage is
legitimate if it has been performed according to the laws
of the respective religious beliefs of the parties concerned.”
All couples 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 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.
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
to file 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 representatives.
For the issue of the Letter of No Impediment
to Marriage by your Consular Representative you will need
to present for yourself and your fiance(e) your Passport(s)
valid for more than 6 months and Certified Divorce Decrees
(absolute/final) and/or Death Certificates regarding the termination
of all previous marriages. Please contact the Consular Representative
of your country for details well before your intended date
of marriage.

partners to the Civil Registry Office (show the original and
present a photocopy):
Certificate
of the religious marriage;
Passport for foreign citizens, or KTP (Identity card) for
Indonesian citizens.
Certified birth certificate.

Before the marriage, you and your fiance(e) also may wish
to file with the Civil Registry a prenuptial Property Agreement
(Surat Pernyataan Harta) which must be signed before a local
Notary Public. This contract is necessary if you wish to hold
property separately during the marriage. In the absence of
such a document, Indonesian marriage law assumes joint ownership
of property, and subsequent property acquisitions by the Indonesian
partner will be regulated according to the laws restricting
foreign property ownership.
Two witnesses over the age of 18 are required. They must show
the originals and present photocopies of their passports if
they are foreign citizens or KTP (identity cards) if they
are Indonesian citizens. Civil Registry employees can act
as witnesses.
The Civil Registry office has a Mandatory
Waiting Period of 10 working days from the date of filing.
This waiting period may be waived for tourists presenting
a guest registration form (Form A)
All other Marriage Certificates will be issued
by the Civil Registry usually on the same or next day. A sworn
English translation of the marriage certificate should be
obtained for use abroad. It is not necessary for the marriage
certificate or translation to be registered by your Consular
Agency. However, to have the sworn translation of the marriage
certificate verified or a special translation made by the
Consulate of your home country or the Consulate of your country
of residence might prove useful
