American Marrying an Indonesian

[Hayes29]

What is REALLY needed to marry an Indonesian? I am an American living and working in Jakarta and I am getting married next January. I have already researched the documents I need to complete the marriage. However, I am still confused. Plus I have others tell me "oh you don't need this" or "you don't need that". So, I was wondering if anyone can give me straight answer on exactly wait I need and the approximate cost. Also if anyone has any information or recommendation on an agent that can help; it would be appreciated. Im already aware of the religious requirements. Thank you.

Besides the normal documents , a "letter of no impediment to marry" or similar (translated to Indonesian) from your Embassy or from your country and a document stating your religion . From what I understand , the more documents you present , the lower the fee . Better to ask your Indonesian future spouse to get all the details at the marriage office (KUA for Moslem , or Church/Catatan Sipil for the others) . My wife paid Rp1 Juta at KUA . I don't think an agent is necessary . More details at http://www.expat.or.id/info/mixmarriages.html , and http://www.expat.or.id/info/prenuptialagreement.html
