Spouse Certification – Who is it for and what are the benefits
For foreign couples who wish to stay permanently in Indonesia, having a marriage certificate recognised by Indonesian law is mandatory.
This certificate helps if there are events related to divorce and custody so that they can be processed according to Indonesian law.
There are several requirements or procedures that must be fulfilled and completed so that the sacred moment of marriage can have a clear legal line. One of the most important requirements is to obtain a marriage certificate that is legally authorised by Indonesian law.
