Where to Get a Marriage Certificate in Bali
To obtain your marriage certificate in Bali, you can visit the local Civil Registry Office (Dinas Kependudukan dan Pencatatan Sipil) where you initially registered your marriage.
These offices are located in various districts across Bali and are responsible for registering marriages and issuing marriage certificates:

- Badung: https://maps.app.goo.gl/z4muJPU3eJQwrDi6A
- Tabanan: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ygcT9dpxcNmyEYoK6
- Gianyar: https://maps.app.goo.gl/a8px69f4ggsirb6bA
- Klungkung: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4aGMbNThDSsq8DPQ9
If you did not get married in one of these areas, you can simply enter “Dinas Kependudukan dan Pencatatan Sipil” in Google Maps to find the right one.
Make sure to take the appropriate form of identification with you (KTP, KITAP, KITAS, or Passport) depending on your legal status.
If you are Muslim
If you are Muslim or converted to Islam for your marriage, then you received a marriage book (Buku Nikah) from the Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) when you got married.
If you did not register the marriage in the Civil Registry Office (Dinas Kependudukan dan Pencatatan Sipil), then you can have your Buku Nikah legalized by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs and then proceed to get the apostille at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
How to Apostille a Marriage Certificate
To receive an apostille for your marriage certificate, you must take your marriage certificate to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
They will issue you a certificate of apostille.
