It is possible for couples of most nationalities to be legally married in Bali and to do so you are required to have both a religious and civil ceremony. There are five recognized religions in Indonesia and they are Buddhist, Catholic, Protestant, Moslem and Hindu. Indonesia will agree to marry couples who hold one of these 5 religions and prefer that the couple are of the same religious belief. Both ceremonies will be performed consecutively. The religious ceremony performed first by a representative of your religious beliefs, followed by a civil ceremony. It is this second ceremony performed by the Civil Registrar that will legalize your wedding and two separate certificates, both religious and civil, will be issued to you.
All foreign marriage applicants are required to present a "Certificate Of No Impediment" or similar document declaring ‘Freedom to Marry’, issued by their Consulate or Embassy representative within Indonesia. ​

Both ceremonies must be performed by Indonesian representatives and will be in the English language. We provide standard ceremony texts and couples are welcome to personalize the ceremony by writing their own vows. Bali Bliss Weddings will confidently advise, guide and prepare all required documentation for application to the Registrar and Religious Authority, including personal onsite assistance at the Consulate.
