1. There are no non-religious marriages. The state/country doesn’t perform marriages.
2. There are no mixed religious marriages.Both parties must believe in the same religion. You can change or convert religion when you get to Indonesia.
3. Non Indonesians marrying Indonesians must get an affidavit from their embassy showing they are not currently married and able to be married. Make sure that you go to the embassy first to get the affidavit with the notarized embassy stamp.
I would go early in the morning it is very fast about 30 minutes. The US Embassy is in central Jakarta across from National Monument the Monas. The embassy is all business you will be in and out very fast. You should be able to go to US embassy but go your embassy as you will need information on how to bring your spouse to your country some countries require you to register you are married.
4. The Indonesian getting married must make a report to the police. Not to worry I Indonesian’s know all about this.
5. The Indonesian getting married must make report to the civil office registry. The cost should be about 200.00 some pay a lot more ( more on that later ) . Indonesians marry another Indonesian pay 35.00.
6. Finally , The marriage, must be a religious ceremony. Can be performed in a religious building temple,church,mosque or in your spouse’s house
7. Optional honeymoon in Bali !
