A Religious Ceremony MUST be performed before a Civil Ceremony. Therefore for those who have already been legally married in their country but wish to exchange their vows or even renew their vows, this may be the type of service required. It is important to note that Indonesia will marry any couple who hold one of the 5 religions recognized by this country (Protestant, Catholic, Muslim, Hindu and Buddhism) and prefer that the couple is of the same religious belief. The Religious Ceremony is performed by a Representative of the couple's own religious belief i.e.: Protestant couple may not have a Hindu Ceremony.
