Information for New Zealand Citizens wanting to get married in Indonesia.
There is no legal obligation to have an overseas marriage registered in New Zealand. To be recognised by New Zealand law, marriage in Indonesia only needs to be registered according to Indonesian law. An Indonesian marriage certificate will be acknowledged in New Zealand.
According to Indonesian law, two ceremonies have to be performed before a marriage can be registered in Indonesia. First, an religious ceremony then, a civil legal ceremony. Please contact the Indonesian Registrar's Office nearest the location of the wedding ceremony to determine the exact requirements: for Muslim ceremonies, contact Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) and for non-Muslim ceremonies, Kantor Catatan Sipil (DUKCAPIL).
The following steps are then needed to be undertaken before submitting an application to the Indonesian Registrar's Office:
- Apply and receive a Certificate of No Impediment from New Zealand (CONI)
- Apply and receive a consular letter from the New Zealand Embassy Jakarta
Apply for CONI
If a New Zealand citizen is wanting to get married in Indonesia, they will also have to provide the Indonesian Register’s Office with a Certificate of No Impediment from New Zealand. This is to show that the New Zealand citizen getting married is not already married in New Zealand.
A Certificate of No Impediment (CONI) can only be obtained from the Births, Deaths, and Marriages Division (BDM) of the Department Internal Affairs, Wellington. The application form should be lodged with BDM by Post or Courier to their Wellington address found here: https://www.govt.nz/organisations/births-deaths-and-marriages/births-deaths-marriages-offices/in-new-zealand/(external link) .
