Proceed the wedding
Japan and Indonesia has differences that are many wedding procedures. We needed to decide where we should continue it, whether in Indonesia or perhaps in Japan first. As both of us had been in Japan so we had to make an application for visa afterwards, therefore we made a decision to have completed in Japan first.
I discovered cases that are surprising the procedures. As an example, in Indonesia, perhaps the wedding is supposed to be held by both Indonesia national, every person has to get “Single Certificate” (certificate mentioned that you aren’t in a married relationship), but spouse said that he’s never heard this kind of certificate in Japan. He asked town hallway in addition they stated that, generally speaking wedding between both Japanese nationwide doesn’t need certificate that is such nonetheless, for worldwide wedding where “Single Certificate” is necessary, town hallway will issue the document. Therefore, i do believe perhaps not a lot of Japanese understand the presence of this certificate.
Wedding in Japan is proceeded in town hallway. As my papers had been printed in Bahasa Indonesia, we needed seriously to obtain it translated into Japanese by Embassy of Republic of Indonesia before distribute it to Japan town hallway. Soon after we got all necessary documents ready (including marriage registration/kon’in todoke), we went along to town hallway to have it proceeded (for set of papers required, please make reference to your Embassy’s website). For Indonesia nationwide, information on worldwide wedding enrollment and document required could be located here (In Bahasa Indonesia)
Wedding Registration Sheet (kon’in todoke)
City hallway person who proceed our documents called to many other town hallway who’ve expertise in proceed international wedding and seemed for a few appropriate methods from a guide book that is thick. Again, we knew marriage that is international nevertheless unusual. Nevertheless, person in control quickly finished the necessary procedures and explained every thing to us politely. It impressed me personally making me fall in love (again) to Japan.
Through the procedure, when I don’t have household name (that will be quite typical in Indonesia), we confused just how to compose my name down on “Marriage Registration” sheet, where household title and final name have to be in writing individually. In the long run, I became permitted to write straight down my title simply the method its by ignoring border line for family members title and final name. More over, I was thinking I was surprised it wasn’t that I will, automatically, get my husband family name, but. (*In Japan, if a lady marrying a man, her family members title is likely to be changed into her husband’s family members name).
Most likely procedures in city hallway finished, we got hitched in Islamic method (called nikah) at Embassy of Republic of Indonesia in Tokyo. We received two Indonesia wedding certificates (it really is in passport size, with green and red address) as an evidence that individuals are now actually wife and husband.

An individual from Embassy of Republic of Indonesia who took care of our nikah had been extremely courteous and mild, he offered a mild advice to spouse, “There are a great deal of haram things such as for instance pork and liquor right right here in Japan, but in my opinion being latin women dating a Muslim, we are able to keep consitently the faith, best of luck and do your ” that is best. For Indonesia nationwide, process of nikah can be located right here (In Bahasa Indonesia)
