If the person that i want to marry is a guy of vietnam citizen where he under kontrak to work in malaysia for about 3 years already.can we marry here?
how about his citizan status? i am female malaysian citizen but still want to remain as a malaysian citizen although after married to him.
If can’t how we can get marry?
hope can reply soon.thanks
First of, sorry for the late reply.
winnie, congrates for finding your love. I’m not the expert but roughly from my research and also having some friends with this experiences, if you two are going to register in Malaysia, there are some requirements for your guy to fulfill such as he has to be in Malaysia for how many weeks and then leave and come back again and so on, it’s quite a lengthy process that you have to check with the Marriage Registration department.
However, if you two get your marriage registered in Vietnam(which they will have their own procedure that you need to find out also), you just have to get your single status certificate from Malaysia, marry in Vietnam and come back to Malaysia to declare that you are married. You can read this here:
http://www.cherishmywedding.com/2007/06/07/marry-a-foreigner-malaysian-outside-malaysia-both-above-21-years-old/
As for citizenship, you should be still a Malaysian unless you give up your citizenship.
im a malaysian if i want to marry a philppine what i have have to, n how long it will take.what ducuments does she needs.
pj, the documents needed are all in the post already(there might be changes, it is best to check with JPN), you can check this post out too:
http://www.cherishmywedding.com/2008/08/08/useful-links-for-couples-getting-married-in-malaysia/
As for how long it will take, you have to check with JPN and all related departments stated in the post. All the best to you.
Hi,
I plan to marry with a girl Indonesia & im Malaysian Chinese
Some Enquiry:
1)”Single status certificate” can get i from my current working company HR department ? Coz my malay’s friend married, “surat bujang” get at their HD dptmt.
2)What steps i need todo 1st? 1st go to Indonesia embassy at KL to get approval letter then go to jabatan perkahwinan in my stage”Perak” to register? or need go to KL at the Jabatan perkahwinan Negara? All the marriage registration task can done in state of “Perak” ?
Can i know the address?
Really hope your can give me some help above.Thankyou.
1. HR? I never heard of that. As I know you can only get it at your local JPN. Malay will have different procedure.
2. If you are marrying a foreigner, you are most likely have to do everything in Putra Jaya. You can go to any JPN in Perak for more information and they will give you all the things you need to do. You can get the address here:
http://www.cherishmywedding.com/category/malaysia-marriage-registration-centres/
However, they might change some of the contacts already. It is best to ask those in your hometown to the nearest location of JPN, I’m sure they will know. Since you are from Perak, you should know where is the nearest JPN in your place.
It doesn’t matter where or how you are getting married, all the information you need are available in JPN, they will be happy to give you all the details you required. Besides, before you do anything, JPN is always the first stop to get everything done.
Dear Sir,
I need your help. My question like Winnie.
I am male Malaysian citizen. If the person that i want to marry is a girl of Vietnam citizen, where she under contract to work in Malaysia for about 3 years already. She is cancel her work permit on 15Dec 2008 and she already go back Vietnam, can she come back Malaysia on 16 Feb 2009 and we marry here?
If she by plane from Vietnam to Singapore and then come Malaysia need do a Visa(Singapore Visa, Malaysia Visa) or not?
Hope can reply soon. Thanks!
I am foriegner ready to marry malaysian cit.
Once application is made how far in advance can we book the actual date of registration – can we book it 6 months in the future?
Also – the single status certificate I have is now dated 1 month old – is this ok?
Cheers ad thanks for help
CK, yes she can, so long she got all the necessary documents from her country and then you also got yours ready. Do head over to JPN to get all the needed details as I can’t give you any answer because I don’t work there. However, getting married next month won’t be possible as you need time for the application process and arrange appointment for registration. Your future wife is forever a foreigner in Malaysia therefore she has to go tru’ what every tourist coming to Malaysia need to go tru’. She won’t get any special treatments even if she marries you. All the immigration law has to be followed. Therefore, you have to head over to JPN near your place and immigration department to get all the necessary information.
Si, you have to wait for approval of the application first then you can make appointment for the registration. Usually once you make your application, they will let you know when it will be approve and so on and what you do in the next step. I assume you haven’t make it that’s why you got no answer for it. As for the single status certificate, I’m not so sure, if that is what you use for the application and it’s accpetable then it should be OK. Anyway, if they need a new one, you can always get it at the same place where you apply, it’s all available in the same place, under one roof. However, if you are a foreigner, that I’m not so sure as there might be different law applied. So the best way is drop by JPN and get everything clarified will save you all the troubles. As I don’t work there and I only know what I share in the above article, I won’t be say much also. That’s all the knowledge I have.
All the best to both of you and just go straight away to JPN to get things clarified will save you all the time and headache of thinking too much. Congrates for finding your love.
Hi, I just wanted to know how to get the single status certificate for my american fiance? Can we get it from the American embassy? Thanks!
It’s me again? If the process is too long (our wedding date is set on the 18th April), can we get married in the American embassy in Bangkok and declare our marriage in Malaysia? How long will that take? Thanks!
GP, congrates. If not American embassy, where else can you get? No matter what, any foreigner getting married to Malaysia must have their single status cert even if you are to register elsewhere. Unless you want to fly back there to get it. I don’t think it will take too long, how fast or slow will be up to the embassy.
As for the getting married in American embassy in Bangkok and declare your marriage in Malaysia, all you need to do is bring all the documents you get from the registration and submit it to JPN. I think it shouldn’t be taking long. Just one day to submit and that’s it. You are married, they can’t do anything else to say that you cannot get married. Your declaration is just to allow update in the country’s database.
Normally when marrying a foreigner,how the process on doing it? can i choose the date to marry as i want? I understand getting the single letter is important. pls advise.
Hi.
i need to married thailand women, what is the pcedure and what
document or form i need to submit. where i need to registeration. where i can download form.
Edwin, I just realized I missed your comment. So sorry, Marrying a foreigner requires many things, it is best for you to go straight to JPN to get all the details as we don’t know how the law change from time to time.
Alan, go register at JPN or you can also register in Thailand, it’s up to you. No matter where you register, you must inform both sides of the authority. This link might be helpful for you http://www.cherishmywedding.com/2008/08/08/useful-links-for-couples-getting-married-in-malaysia/
I’m sorry, I don’t think there’s any form to download, even if so, the form is not a valid one, it’s just for your reference, you still have to get the original from JPN. Just head over to any nearest JPN and they will tell you everything, you can find the addresses or contact here if you are in Malaysia:
http://www.cherishmywedding.com/category/malaysia-marriage-registration-centres/
If you are not in Malaysia, do go straight to the embassy for details.

Dear Sir/Madam
Firstly , you have a wonderfull web page and its very helpfull.
Im a Malaysian Planing to wed a Indonesian Female.
She just convert to christian this month in Indonesia with still retaining her indonesian name.
Question: Is there any problem getting married to newly converted christian from islam in malaysia ?what shall i do if there is any problem.
She works in Malaysia at the moment with a yearly multiple work permit entry.
question: Can she marry me while she is still working in Malaysia?as her permit is until mid theis year.as i want to extend her permit for another year.
What shall i do?
Thank you

hi!! im malaysian girl (21) and want to marry a myanmar foreigner.
can i know how to register if i wish to marry a myanmar foreigner with working permit?
is it just like the procedures from above?
can i also ask whether will my future husband will be a malaysian citizen?
if no..then how can he be a malaysian citizen?
Hans, all I know is that if you are a Malaysian Muslim, she will have to convert no matter what but otherwise, I’m not sure. There’s a way without getting her to convert is to get married overseas but not reporting it back to Malaysia which this is illegal(if I’m not mistaken) and in case if something happen in the marriage, your wife will have problem with claiming you as her husband and she will be at the losing end.
Mark K, I think it should be a problem for the religion part since she’s not a Malaysian. As for the work permit thing, if I’m not mistaken, those with work permit cannot get married. This you have to check with the immigration department as their might be some exclusion.
chamcham, a foreigner with working permit cannot marry a local girl(that’s what I heard, not sure how true is this, do check with immigration department). As I had always said, a foreigner will forever be a foreigner in Malaysia even if he/she marries a Malaysian. If he wants to be a Malaysian citizen/PR, it will depends on what he work as, if he is a professional that Malaysia needs, he will get it easily. Other than that, there is no way at all.
Thanks for the info.
Does that’s mean i cannot marry him in malaysia only?
What if we marry outside malaysia? is it possible?
By the way im muslim.
chamcham, if you marry outside of Malaysia, you can but you still have to report back to Malaysia. Since you are a Muslim, maybe the law will be slightly different, he will have to convert first before he marries you. Since you’re a Muslim, you can go to JAIS to get more information as I’m not sure on the about the Syariah Law and the marriage related law is different also.
ok. thanks, so much for the info ya.
chamcham, all the best to you
Hi,
Kindly may i know is it true that foreigner have to stay in malaysia min 7 days before allow to get register with malaysian ?
it was so hard to get through gov. depart. line.
Thank
Hi Kelly, if I’m not mistaken that’s what I heard also.
I wish to marry a Myanmar Lady. I did my research and found 2 obstacles:
1. The Myanmar govt disallows Burmese girls marrying to foreigners. In this case the Myanmar Embassy in KL will not issue Single Certificate. There is no other way to get Single Cert for my girl in Myanmar. What can I do?
2. If my girl is on work permit, I understand I also cannot marry. But if she cancels it, goes back to Myanmar for 1 month and return on social visit pass later, can I register her for marriage with JPN (if #1 is resolved)?
Thanks
Alex,
1. First time heard of it but I’m sure there are many Malaysians marrying Myanmar ladies. The best way is to go straight to JPN and get them to advise you.
2. If #1 resolved, it should be possible but still she will have to report back to her country on the marriage else it’s not legal. Again, sorry, can’t help much, the best way is go straight to JPN and they will tell you everything.
Thanks for your advice admin. This is due to the recent internal ‘unwritten’ laws of Myanmar. Did a lot of research on this but still cannot shed a light.
This happens when General Khin Nyunt became the PM. Heard previously the Malaysian Embassy in Yangon started issuing ‘Single Certification’ for Burmese girls but later due to the Myanmar military govt opposing it, they stopped it.
If you have any idea of recent marriages of Burmese/Malaysian couples, please let me know how they do it… Thanks.
Alex, I see… It’s “new” law. I think it is best to go straight to the relevant department for help.
Hi,
I read your reply on Mark K’s comment, is an Indonesian who converted to Christian and was a Muslim before will get into trouble in Malaysia?
I’m an Indonesian and recently converted to christian cause i plan to marry a Malaysian.
Are we gonna have any trouble if we want to get married in Malaysia?
Your reply will be very helpful, thanks.
M
M, I don’t think there will be any problem. So long that your country allow it and are already not a Muslim when u want to married your fiance, the Malaysian gov won’t have the power to force u to go tru’ any Muslim related procedure. You just have to make sure you are no longer a Muslim in your country database else you will get into trouble.
Hello there,
I wish to marry a Indonesian girl. But there require a lot of document stuff to be done. just a question i been confuse right here.
Recently i heard a lot of people said that you can hire a certain agent related field to done it for us. Is that illegal or not possible at all? Please advice. thanks.
jeff, I’m not sure but even with the agent, you still have to show your face and everything to the related department when needed. The agent is only helping you go around take forms, get details, help you submit some needed documents and so on. At the end of the day, you still have to show up, sign this, sign that and so on. Agent only help you in case you have tight schedule, just like your office boy.
Anyway, if there are, ask them what they do, their scope of jobs and so on and find trusted one. You might ended with those lousy ones that only take your money and doesn’t do much thing for you.
Thanks for the reply admin.
Another question here is do you know anything about religion problem may occur.
Example like my girlfriend is a Muslim at Indonesia and i will get marry with her at Indonesia with my status at there will be change to Muslim too. But after that when i come back to Malaysia we decide that she will be change to Cristian and get marry here both our religion status will be Cristian. is there is any problem with that or is not illegal? Thanks.
jeff, MAJOR problem.
There is no way you can convert back in Malaysia. If Indonesia is having such law whereby you must convert if you marry a Muslim, then you have to.
Once you’re a Muslim, don’t even think about converting to another religion in Malaysia but I’m not sure about Indonesia whether they will allow it or not but since with what you had mentioned, I don’t think you can do so.
There is no way you can marry at both places, you can only get married at one place and report back to your home country with all your documents. There is no way you can cheat the system as the Malaysia side will check with Indonesia side to see whether is she married or not and they will check you too.
Unless she can convert to Christian before marrying you if Indonesia does allow such conversion. If she is allow to do so, then convert first else you will be in big trouble.
Basically, once you are a Muslim in Malaysia, you won’t be able to convert to any other religion as you like without going tru’ EXTREMELY LOTS of troubles.
Hi Alex,
I have the same situation with you. I would like to know how’s your current situation? DOes your girl gets her ‘Single Certification’?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks!

hello
i have read your usfull information about how to get marry in malaysia (kl) can you pls tell me more how to make an appointment to get marry and where,where is teh registriaction office, because i’m in uk at the moment and i’m thinkig to go malaysia in 2 months time to marry my girlfriend over there, she don’t know where to go as well, thats why i e-mail see if anyone can help, i only have 2 weeks in malaysia because of work, will it be enough time to marry her? if you can e-mail me back with some usfull information so me or my girlfriend can book a date which we can get marry in kl, thank you very much
ming, in fact it’s very simple, why make life so difficult? Go straight to the nearest JPN, no idea where? Ask around those in KL, friends or family or relatives, I’m sure they will know where is the nearest JPN in KL.
Go there, take the forms and take the chance to ask all the questions in mind. However, 2 weeks is not quite possible to get everything done, as there is a 21-day time span to get the document processed and when doing the submission and appointment, both have to go together.
For more details, ask you gf to go to the nearest JPN in KL and then ask all the questions. Make sure both of you are from KL. If not, one of you have to change or both of you have to change ur IC’s address to KL address. All the best.
Hi, I am malaysian chinese lady. Me and my boyfriend planning to get marry next year. He is japanese guy.He is gold card holder (expatriate post) and working in malaysia for 5 years. I would like to know the procedure need to be done. Thanks
hello,
i wish to marry a Myanmar Guys. But the problem is he doesn’t get the ‘Single Status ‘ approvement form myanmar. please advise.
nini, the procedure is similar to any other foreigner marrying Malaysian even though your bf works here. There are many requirements to fulfill and many things to do and prepare. It’s best to go to the nearest JPN and get all the details.
nelly, sorry, have no idea how to help in this. It’s best for you to go to your nearest JPN to ask coz I heard that the government of Myanmar is not giving out such cert to their citizen marrying foreigner but still people have ways to get but I don’t know how.
hi.. im indonesian lady, i wish to marry filipino guy and we both currently working in malaysia. is that true, if i get married to him, i have to follow him to be a filipina? what if i dont want to give up my indonesian citizenship?
i hope u can give me your answer. thanks.
indonesian girl, I’m sorry but I can’t help in this. It’s better for you to ask those in the Philippines. In normal circumstances, there is no rule saying that the wife must take up citizenship of her husband’s country, the most is that you get a PR or special visa. Of course, become the citizen there is another option but it’s not a must.
Hi, I’m Indonesian girl and going to marry with Malaysian. I’m Christian and my bf is Buddhist. Would it be a problem if we get married in Malaysia? And I also confuse where I can get the single certificates and who will issue the single certificate. Is it right if my government office will issue the certificate and will be authenticated by Malaysian embassy in Jakarta? Or I can make a statement letter by myself with supporting documents that show my single status (for example: my ID card) then will be authenticated by Malaysian embassy in Jakarta.
Starfish, as long that you’re not a Muslim, there will be no problem. You have to get your single certificate from your country’s marriage department. From there, you can ask them whatever questions you want and they will be able to give you the answers. There is no such thing as making your own, if it’s like that, then everyone can make their own. It must be from the government.
hi,
my question is, i wanna marry a swedish. they ask me to do legal procedure in sweden. what i need to do is apply residence visa , and go to sweden and get married they. just want to know, is that i need to apply anything in here? like a submit any detail about him?
jayasheela, if you plan to register in Swweden, just go ahead and register in Sweden first following whatever procedure they want you to do, then bring all the documents as proof back to Malaysia and report about your marriage at the nearest JPN or you can go to the high commissioner/embassy of Malaysia in Sweden to report about your marriage.
I have just got married with japanese girl in japan with marriage certificate in japanese format. i am now looking for the right place to register in malaysia. can you tell me is the place in embassy of japan in malaysia should be a starting point for me to get japanese merriage certificate translates to english and from there how am i going to proceed?
can my japanese wife not present in malaysia during the registration as she is now in uk?
please revert me with the documents required and procedure of getting register and marriage certificate in malaysia.
many thanks
jackie
Jackie, I think you can go to embassy of Malaysia in Japan for it. Your wife must be with you when you want to report about your marriage.
Sorry but I can’t help much. I’m not working for JPN nor any organization related to this. My knowledge is only limited to whatever you can find in this site.
The documents you will need is all the documents you got when you register in Japan. Bring the translated version of all the document along with the original ones and of course your wife along to the nearest JPN in Malaysia or the Malaysia embassy in Japan to report about it.
Do it within 6 months to avoid penalty.
There is no need for a second registration.

hi, im chinese malaysian, but my behalf is moroccan muslim, and we decide to get married in south korea. only come back to declare in K.L. should we declare in malaysia embassy when we get married in south korea?
what is the document we should prepare to get married and it take how long?
and we would like to get the pr for my behalf, in tis case, what kind of doc he need to prepare too?
after married, after declare in k.l, is that possible he can get a job in kl?
and what is the requirement for him to stay in malaysia too?
i would like to know the procedure in legal way. thanks.
nguyen thi thanh thao and tami, I’m sorry I can’t help since you are not Malaysian. JPN is the marriage registrar office in Malaysia. To get help, please go to your nearest marriage registrar office to get your question answered.
stella, you can opt to declare it Malaysia Embassy in Korea then you don’t have to do it again in KL. If you are to register outside of Malaysia, then you have to follow whatever the country you register in need you to prepare. Sorry, can’t help much. As for PR, it will be a bit difficult unless he is a professional sought after by the M’sian government. As for job, he can always apply for Malaysia’s company that need his expertise, if the company hire him, then the company will do all the applications for him to work in Malaysia else it’s not going to be easy.
Can’t really help much as I’m not expert in this field. My knowledge is only limited to whatever you see here. If you need more information, check with related government agency especially JPN or Malaysia Embassy.
Hello , im chinese malaysian and my gf is chinese china , we plan to marry in malaysia , my gf 18years old , what should we do ?
Royz, I think she must get approval from the government there first before and register here and since she is underage, there will be extra applications and procedures need to be done but I don’t know what. Sorry, can’t help much. The easiest way, register in China then come back to report with all the documents.
She should get approval from goverment ?
Royz, she might, depending on what the China government law is. In case she is considered underage for marriage then she will have to do whatever the government needs her to do else you can’t marry her.
Hi,

And the other thing if my girlfriend accept that she convert does she need to change her name too or not?
Thank sincerely for your help
hi h.b, if you’re not a Muslim she doesn’t have to convert. However with your student status, I don’t think you can marry her. You also cannot marry her if on work visa. That’s all I can help. Please go to the relevant department for more information.
hi, i have a same problem with h.b.I’m malaysian chinese and my bf is iranian and he is muslim.he study right here in malaysia,we are planing to marry after his PHD in end of this year.I would like to know it’s that any passible way to marry in malaysia but i do not need to convert to his religion ?or where else able to give us a legal marriage cert,even we are not the citizen there?

xiao wen, I’m not sure u need to convert or not but to be on the safe side don’t register in Malaysia. Go some other place to register, go to his home country if no law said u have to convert. Then just report it back to M’sia. However, please go to the nearest JPN to ask. Sorry, not expert in this.

Hi there,
My boyfried is a Sudanese and we plan to marry next year. He is muslim. I dunno how to go about this. Please advise.
I decided to get marriage with a Hong Kong girl who i know for 2 years time. She now already in Malaysia with 30 days of holiday visa with her Single Status Letter which ussued in Hong Kong in 8th of March. But she has been
stay for 2 weeks time. Only have 2 weeks left for her holiday visa. I whould like to know how long does the period of registration will take ?
Simon, all I can say is that, not in time for it. You need to wait for at least 21 days to get your submission processed. This is for the locals.
Since you are marrying a foreigner, I don’t think it will be able to be done so soon. The best thing for you to do now is go to the nearest JPN, get all the necessary details and ask them the documents needed and all the questions you have in mind and arrange from there.
Mia, please go to your nearest JPN to get all the information.
hi admin
i am about to get married to a chinese girl from Mainland China and she is above age and I m a Malaysian. The thing now is how do I go about getting the Certificate of single status in Sarawak? Currently I m overseas. can I ask someone in Kuching to get on my behalf. Ur help very much appreciated.

if im 20ys old bt comeing oct 5 im 21ys old alrdy, bt i still can register or not with filpenos.?
David, you have to get your certificate on your own, no one can get it for you. You might be able to get it from the Embassy or High Commissioner of Malaysia overseas.
yugaiswaran, first of all, you have to be above 21 means apply and register after your birthday, else you will need your parents and special arrangement to be made. As for your girl, single certificate from her country is a must, that’s all I know. Please go to JPN for details. I can’t help much because I’m just an average person like you and not related to any organization or department that deal with such thing. The needed documents are stated in the post. There might be some changes to it so please check with JPN about it. All the best.

Charles, not sure, never heard of it. Please check with the relevant authority.
Stephany, I’m sorry, I have no idea how the Syariah law is. How is it possible she is not a Muslim when she married a Muslim and even register in Malaysia? It’s not possible, However, if she is converted to be a Muslim and wants to protect herself, do go report to the Syariah court about the husband being bad to her and the court will help her because I don’t think there is such thing as who owns the properties, it will depends on the situation and of course who has the name in the business. If she’s not converted, the marriage isn’t even legal.

nan, if there is no embassy here, then the last resort is to go back to the country else you go there too and register your marriage there and report back to M’sia authority.
karan sing, you have to check what are the document that your country required before you bring her to marry there. You can live in Malaysia with certain visa that you have to go renew it from time to time but you won’t be getting the PR or be a resident here unless you are some sought after professional. Once you done the registration in your country, just bring all the documents that you get from the registration and report back to the nearest JPN.

help needed, i plan to marry vietnam gf which husband death , now single, what is the procedure needed. also we plan to marry outside state, i know need go to putrajaya for stamp, and declare wedding at perak. do i need the death cert. even the single status cert mention “husband death, now single status”. appreciate your help
takagi, you can’t have your marriage legalised if she is not converting, even you register outside of Malaysia, you will still have to report back to Malaysia and she will have to be converted no matter what, no escape. If you don’t want to report it back, your marriage will never be legal and not recognize by the government here.
Bavani, if not mistaken 7 weeks to be in Malaysia but not so sure. Best is go to the nearest JPN since you need to get your form and documents ready. I think for foreigner, can only do it in Putrajaya, that’s the fastest, if do it at your hometown it might take quite awhile. Again, please go to your nearest JPN as everything you need to know is there.
Steven, not so sure but there is no harm bringing the death cert along.
