Marriage in Indonesia - for Australian citizen
pixabay |
For details of the current marriage requirements for Indonesia please contact the nearest Indonesian Embassy/Consulate-General or the Indonesian Civil Registry Office (Catatan Sipil) in the area where the marriage will take place.
As a general guide only, the following information may be of assistance.
The parties to the marriage will need to make their own arrangements with the local religious minister and/or the civil registry celebrants and are advised to seek confirmation of the exact requirements in their particular circumstances. In addition, partners would be advised to discuss with their lawyer in Australia and/or Indonesia about any other steps which need to be taken, especially, but not only if, they intend to reside in a country other than Australia, or if they wish to hold property separately.
Getting Married under Indonesian Law
Generally, Indonesian nationals, and persons of any other nationality may marry in Indonesia provided they hold a religion recognised by the Indonesian Government (Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism or Christian). Under the Indonesian Marriage Law, marriages may be performed by Ministers of Religion, officers of the Civil Registry Office (Kantor Catatan Sipil) or the Office of Religious Affairs (Kantor Urusan Agama). For a marriage to be legal, it must be conducted according to the religion and conform to the laws of the countries of the parties involved.
In order for an Australian citizen to marry in Indonesia, it is necessary to make an application for a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage (CNI) at the Australian Embassy in Jakarta or the Australian Consulate-Generals in Denpasar, Surabaya and Makassar. Application forms are available from the Consular counters at these offices or on the Smartraveller website at https://smartraveller.gov.au/services/legalising-documents/pages/overseas.aspx
To obtain a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage you may contact us at consular.jakarta@dfat.gov.au
Jurisdiction
The local Civil Registry Office or KUA normally require the CNI to be issued by the Australian diplomatic mission within the appropriate jurisdiction. Below is a guide on the jurisdiction allocations, however please check with the Civil Registry Office or KUA to confirm the mission you should attend.
Australian Embassy Jakarta | : Jakarta, West Java, Sumatera, Riau, Kalimantan |
Australian Consulate-General Makassar | : Sulawesi, Maluku, Papua, NTT |
Australian Consulate-General Surabaya | : East Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta |
Australian Consulate-General Bali | : Bali, NTB |
Couples must be of the same religion
Under Indonesian Law No.1 of 1974 concerning marriage (the ‘Marriage Law’), both parties must hold the same religion, if not, one party must convert to the other religion. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the process of converting to Islam is not a lengthy one. To start the process, speak with the Imam at the local mosque.
Islamic Weddings
Moslem weddings are performed by the Office of Religious Affairs (Kantor Urusan Agama) and they will issue the Marriage Books (Buku Nikah) as evidence of the marriage. There is usually no requirement for people to register such a marriage with the Civil Registry Office (Kantor Catatan Sipil). However, it is recommended that you arrange for a Marriage Certificate from the Civil Registry Office, if you intend to relocate to another country.
Other Weddings
For non-Moslem marriages (Christian, Hindu, etc), couples have to lodge a Notice of Intention to Marry with the Civil Registry Office at least 10 days prior to the wedding. After the ceremony the marriage must be registered at the Civil Registry Office to be legal. Both applicants will need the originals and a photocopies of the documentation listed below. However as requirements can vary from province to province it would be prudent to check with Civil Registry Office in the area you will marry in first.
- The Certificate of No Impediment from the Embassy or Consulate-General
- Passports or KTP
- Birth certificates
- Marriage certificate
- Proof of dissolution of previous marriage or death certificate of former partner (if applicable)
- Four photos (4x6cm) of the couple.
It can be difficult for Australian and other foreign nationals without Indonesian language skills to liaise with the Civil Registry Office and religious celebrants. We suggest that you engage the services of a Wedding Organiser if you are unsure.

mohon infonya pengurusan dokumen suami, apa aja yang harus dipersiapkan dari australia sampai ke indonesia
thanks
Terjemahan yang dibutuhkan KUA hanya akte lahir dan akta cerai suami saja.
Silahkan baca di link ini ya : http://ilalanggrass.blogspot.com/2012/11/menikah-di-indonesia-dengan-wna.html?showComment=1376068377054#c4470296265342188763
semoga membantu.
Kalau untuk tujuan pernikahan dokumen yang di translate ke Bhs Indonesia adalah untuk diserahkan ke KUA/Catatan sipil, jadi tidak perlu penerjemah yang diakui oleh kedubes Australia, cukup penerjemah yang disumpah.
Kecuali untuk keperluan applikasi visa Australia :
TRANSLATOR diharuskan menggunakan NAATI certified translator, listnya klik disini : http://www.indonesia.embassy.gov.au/jakt/SwornTrans.html
NOTARIS (untuk urusan visa) boleh public notary dimana saja di Indonesia, atau bisa pakai Australian Public Servant (imigrasi) di Kedutaan Australia Jakarta.
Jasa notarie untuk buat Prenup vartiatif, coba google dan tanya by phone satu persatu untuk perbandingan.
Semoga membantu ya.
Mbak terima kasih atas perhatian dan infonya.Saya sangat terbantu atas Info- info yang saya dapat dari blog Mbak ini. Mbak Bisa gak apply spouse visa sebelum Nikah? Saya pengennya ntar sesudah Nikah ( In Shaa ALLAH January 2014) langsung ikut calon suami ke Aussie. Biaya spouse visa Aussie Rp. 33.000.000 itu beneran gak Mbak? Saya rencananya ngurus sendiri gak pake agent.
Terima kasih.
Spouse visa subclass 309/100 untuk De jure relatioship (menikah), dan De facto relationship. Mengajukan spouse visa berdasarkan De jure relationship kamu harus sudah menikah.
Mengajukan spouse visa berdasarkan De facto relationship kamu harus sudah tinggal bersama pasangan paling sedikit 12 bulan (hal ini di Indo tidak umum).
Untuk mengajukan aplikasi salah satu dari 2 cara tersebut, kamu harus mengajukan bukti2 antara lain : harus ada akta nikah (de Jure), membuktikan bahwa kalian berdua tinggal di alamat yang sama, tagihan listrik/telpon/internet atas nama berdua, poto2 berdua dan bersama teman2 dan anggota keluarga kedua belah pihak, etc, etc (banyak banget sist persyaratannya).
Untuk case kamu lebih tepat mengajukan subclass 300 (Prospective marriage visa). Biaya dan cara apply serta persayaratannya silahkan baca di link dibawah ini :

Pernikahan secara legal di KUA tidak perlu lagi didaftarkan di catatan sipil.
Buku nikah sudah menjadi certificate resmi untuk apply partner visa subclass 309/100.
Semoga bisa membantu ya.
