I spent the whole morning and afternoon to get my marital status statement from JPN in Putrajaya. Believe me, you will hate and wait a lot. Beware of a staff name whatever “Fahmee” (I forgot to note down, but all I remember was that), this guy here will sit there and do absolutely nothing but scene viewing. He was sitting there until the staff next to him asked (or beg cause there was reason statement also) him to help, and he only did my letter and off he sitting again. Improvement my foot JPN, you need to learn from bank, place a supervisor behind them and watch them work instead.

Anyway, the good thing was, I can get it by the same day, but have to run 2 places, 1km (according to GARMIN GPS) distance between them.

Things to prepare:
- Photocopy of IC*
- Photocopy of birth certificate*
- Surat Akuan**
- RM5
* Note: Need to be certified by your town council, else bring the original together with you.
**Note: Need to be certified by your town’s court.
I go there with all three certified, so I didn’t go to court and swore or anything
Lucky I did those in Sibu
1, Go to National Registration Department, 2nd floor, which is where you might see Fahmee. Same procedure of course, get number, sit and wait your number called and get to counter.
The letter should available within 30 minutes and the progress goes on even lunch hour.
2, Once you get the statement letter, go to Wisma Putra, Foreign Affair Department to get the letter signed by some head again. Which of course, the same procedure again.
Done! However, Foreign Affair Department has their lunch hour from 12.30pm to 2.00pm. Don’t waste time going there at 12.30pm like me
Waited outside the gate for an hour half. Oh, just in case you’re not narcissism enough, you need to wear long pant and shoe
After getting the letter I’m feeling much better than any cure acne product on my face for the past few days. Even I sent my application last time with PosLaju, they still need to go through a lot of department in order to get the letter for you. So it is much better to go there directly and get it instead. Just another troublesome story of a guy getting marry with an Indonesian girl

March 15, 2012 at 2:23 pmErm… How to say…
A letter to declare who are you, who are you married to, where you guys going to stay in Malaysia.
Then you need to go to court and have a cop and sign there.

Yes, after that you need to take another letter from JPN that declare you are 100% single, in order to get married certificate, both in Malaysia and Indonesia require that.
