a "Certificate of No Impediment" or similar document
ISSUED by their Consulate or Embassy Representative with in
Indonesia for the Civil Ceremony. Requirements to obtain "Certificate
of No Impediment" will be based on the couple's nationality.

are will be legal in your country too.

Priest called ‘Romo’. A Catholic wedding requires
much paper work and both partners must be of single status.

time after the religious ceremony with an extra fee of USD
100/net and you will get 2 (two) certificates of Marriage

the celebrant should pray for good things such as: safety,
health, a bright future and happiness for the couple. It takes
approximately 20minutes in total, performed by a Balinese
Celebrant and an assistant who guide the couple through the
ceremony. It’s preferred that couples be dressed in
