YOGYAKARTA - Marriage is a special phase for every couple who has grown up. The wedding procession is a sacred moment, so it must be planned as well as possible. Especially if your house and your partner are in different areas, there will be more preparations.

Many people end up pairing with distant people or from different cities. For different couples, it is necessary to prepare various things related to marriage long ago. Marriage is not only about the location and running of the event, but there are many other things that must also be prepared.

You and your partner must know what the requirements for marriage are for different cities. Make sure you take care of all the conditions from a long time ago to minimize obstacles and so that marriage can run smoothly.

When a couple who is getting married comes from a different city, you also have to take care of the requirements in two places. In preparing for this marriage, you and your partner must be able to communicate well so that it is easier to take care of everything.

The following are the conditions that must be taken care of to marry a couple from different cities:

When getting married, the bride and groom must prepare their identity. Prospective brides need to attach several identity documents, such as Identity Cards (KTP), birth certificates, Family Cards (KK), to diplomas.

In the marriage requirements, the KTP serves to verify a person's identity. This card also shows the origin of a person from a certain area. Birth certificates are also one of the important documents in intercity marriages. This document contains important information about individuals, such as full names, date of birth, and place of birth.

Birth certificates can show a person's marital status, whether married or not. This is important to ensure that the marriage is legally valid. The Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) will check the suitability of the data between the KTP and the birth certificate.

The next document that must be included by the bride and groom is KK. This document contains information about family members, such as full name, date of birth, and family relationship. Information in the KK is used to ensure the validity of the marriage. In addition, the recording of wedding data at the KUA and the Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil) also refers to the KK.

Educational certificates for the two brides are also needed in inter-city marriages, although not all regions require it. There are several reasons why educational diplomas are needed. One of them is because the diploma contains information about the last education taken by the bride and groom. This information is used to complete personal data in marriage recordings.

When requesting a letter of introduction from the head of the RT/RW, the bride and groom need to bring their KTP and KK. After that, visit the head of the local RT/RW and explain the intent and purpose of asking for a letter of introduction to intercity marriage.

Fill in the available introductory form, submit the required documents, and wait for the construction process to be completed. Before meeting the head of the RT/RW, it is better to contact them first to ensure their availability.

Another requirement that must be taken care of when holding a wedding is to request an introduction letter from the kelurahan. This document contains an acknowledgment from the kelurahan that you are a resident of the place. Several regions enforce this letter as one of the mandatory documents for different city marriages.

Letter N1 and N3 are documents that need to be published by the kelurahan in the area of origin of the bride and groom. These files will later be sent to KUA in the destination city of the wedding along with other documents belonging to the couple.

The Model N1 letter was issued by the kelurahan on the recommendation of the KUA. This document states that the applicant for the letter (joint candidate) is indeed the child of the couple recorded in the civil record data.

To get the document, you need to request a recommendation letter from the KUA first. After that, you can return to the kelurahan to request a letter N1. Meanwhile, N3 is a letter of consent for the bride issued by KUA in the city of origin of the applicant.

Another requirement for inter-city marriage is a marriage status statement. This official document states whether the bride and groom are single, widow, or widower. In some areas, this letter is one of the mandatory requirements for inter-city marriage. This letter helps KUA in the process of verifying data and recording marriages.

This letter states that the KUA in the city of the origin of the prospective groom/female has agreed that the wedding will be held at the destination city's KUA. Marriage certificates must be sent to the destination city KUA along with other required documents. This letter helps the destination city's KUA in the process of verifying data and recording weddings.

Letter N4 states that the parents of the bride and groom agree to their child's wedding plans. This letter was issued, signed, and labeled by the KUA. The letter is not just a formality, but is a symbol of a strong family bond, because the consent and blessing of parents is inaugurated through ink and official signatures.

Diplomas health tests at health centers or hospitals are one of the important conditions in the preparation of marriages. This health test is not only carried out by prospective brides, but also mandatory for prospective brides. This shows mutual equality and commitment in creating healthy families. After undergoing a medical test, the bride and groom will receive a health check and lab results.

N2 is a marriage proposal letter from the bride and groom to the KUA destination. It includes the date, location of the event, and the dowry. If KUA approves the time and place of the event, then the marriage contract can be held.

Those are the requirements for marriage in different cities that must be monitored by couples who plan to have a wedding. Make sure you prepare and take care of a number of conditions above long ago. Also read a series of health tests before getting married.
