I recently received many questions from Malaysians who wanted more details on procedures of marrying a foreigner in Malaysia. Bridging cultural divides in a mixed marriage can be difficult enough so here is a quick and easy guide of the documentation you require and procedures you will need to go through to register your marriage to a foreigner in Malaysia.
Documents Required For Malaysians Marrying Foreigners
Documents for the Malaysian Partner
- Original Malaysian IC (bring on registration day)
- Photocopy of your Malaysian IC
- Passport sized photo (blue background)
Documents for the Foreign Partner
- Original passport
- Photocopy of front page with details and page where entry into Malaysia has been endorsed (foreign partner needs to be in Malaysia 7 days before registration)
- Single status letter from the embassy or country of origin (including official translation if not in English). This needs to be endorsed by the Malaysian Embassy of that country or Wisma Putra in Malaysia
- Signed copy by Notary Public confirming single status (optional but may be useful)
- Passport sized photo (blue background)
Additional Documents Needed If Marrying A Divorcee or Widow/Widower
- For divorcees, copy of the Decree Nisi Absolute confirming the divorce.
- For widows or widowers, a copy of the deceased spouse’s death certificate.
The above additional documents for divorcees and widows/widowers are necessary for both Malaysians and foreigners.
Hope this helps and makes your registration process a little less painful so you can concentrate on the beautiful fairy tale wedding you have been planning!
With Love,
Elle
