Mandatory Documents to Marry a Foreigner in

Indonesia

Marriage of different nationalities is no longer a foreign thing that occurs in the midst of the
times. This is also influenced by the development of communication technology which no longer
makes distance and time differences an obstacle. The mobilization of humans themselves as
social beings contributes to the number of marriages of different nationalities becoming
increasingly common. Seeing that marriage no longer considers differences in citizenship, there
are several regulations that must be followed and documents that must be fulfilled so that an
Indonesian citizen (WNI) can register his marriage with a foreign citizen (WNA) in the territory
of the Republic of Indonesia.

In Indonesia, based on Article 57 of Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage (The Law of
Marriage) What is meant by mixed marriage is marriage between two people in Indonesia subject
to different laws due to differences in citizenship and one of the parties is an Indonesian citizen.

completed so that the marriage can be registered, namely:
