We have been thinking where to have our ROM. He suggested that we did it at Hotel rather than at JPN offices or temple or associations. Reasons being:
1) all your friends and relatives can comfortably witness in the Hotel
2) do it before or during your wedding dinner, so your guests no need to spare another day for your ROM
3) Hotel settings are nice and comfy. (Park Royal did the settings for me for 50pax Free! )
4) No need to prepare lunch or dinner after ROM as they can have their refreshment during the wedding dinner!
5) No need to incur extra costs for your ROM attire, photographer, make up artist.
There are CONS too.. there are more procedures to apply ROM outside JPN office , you must make sure they are JPN officer willing to do it on their rest days and you pay extra (RM500 ++ instead of RM30) for your ROM. But with the pros i listed out above, is worth to pay the extra RM500++.
To apply for Registration of Marriage Outside of JPN office, what we have done:
Official link by JPN for marriage outside JPN office:
http://www.jpn.gov.my/en/servicesmarriageordivorce
1) As both of our IC address are Seremban, so we need to go to JPN Seremban to submit JPN.KC02form. (refer to link above for supporting documents to bring) and told them we want to have the registration in KL. Then wait for 21 days, we went back to JPN Seremban to collect the form with a letter to JPN KL. If you plan to register at KL, you must go to KL JPN and not PJ or Shah Alam JPN. We collect the
JPN.KC01E form from JPN Seremban also.
2) With the approved JPN.KC02 form and completed JPN.KC01E form , we need to have commissioner of oaths for both form. You need to find a Pesuruhjaya Sumpah to do that. We paid RM15 for the oaths. Supporting documents for JPN.KC01E form includes bride and groom ICs + passport photo + 2 witness's ICs + JPN.KC02 form + Letter from JPN Seremban.
3) We then call up one of the KL JPN officer which we got the contact from our friend, is an officer JPN dutamas (call the general line 03-6205 7600 ) to check whether he can do our ROM on his rest day. PM me if you need to know who is him.
4) We then submit all the documents to him to process.
