Legal Marriage in Bali - Help!


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, my fiancé and I are both Singaporean and we want to have a legal marriage in Bali.

We know that we have to be of the same religion and get a celebrant to conduct the official ceremony (Protestant). I have also gotten in contact with the Singapore Embassy in Jakarta but have only gotten as far as how to obtain the CNI which is required to be submitted to the Catatan Sipil (civil registry).

I was able to get some information on what other documents/information the Catatan Sipil will require us to submit from googled posts but none of them were able to confirm the procedure I need to follow. Google does not have much information on this in general! I have also tried contacting the Catatan Sipil but haven't received any response for quite a long time.

Unfortunately, our wedding planner does not know the procedure either when we checked with him and even told us that even if we obtain the CNI, it's not guaranteed that the wedding will be recognized by Indonesia's civil registry office. Additionally, I have read several blog posts saying it's harder for Singaporeans to have a legal marriage in Bali (which I'm not sure why) without any details so I'm now left with mixed responses and am unsure of whether it is even possible!

Wondering if any Singaporeans have done this before or if anyone can share how I can do this?

thanks!
