For non-Muslim couples who wish to register their marriage, the agency involved in the registration process is the National Registration Department (JPN). All non-Muslim couples are required to register their marriage with JPN.
Basic procedures:
- Marriage registration application
Applications can be made at JPN branches according to the applicant’s MyKad address or online at the following link:
Register for marriage online- Notice of marriage display
After the application is made, the notice of marriage will be displayed for 21 days at JPN.
- Marriage solemnisation
The marriage ceremony will be carried out after the 21-day period ends and not more than 6 months from the date the application is received.
For applications that exceed the 6-month validity, couples must reapply.
