Getting married in Brunei

Hi all,

We invite all the ones who got married in Brunei or who are about to get married in Brunei to participate in this thread :)

What are the formalities to get married in Brunei? Is it the same for a couple of foreigners of for a mixed couple (between a foreigner and a native of Brunei)?

Are the procedures complicated?

How long does it take to carry out all the formalities?

Thank you in advance for participating,

Armand

I have just left the High Commission of Canada, literally, with a statement in Lieu of a Certificate of No Impediment to marry. If you are not Bruneian, you must have this to marry. I needed to show my birth certificate, passport, divorce papers (all originals) and have a brief chat with the Commissioner.  My fiancé is from England; he is required to post  his intention to marry me in the local paper for 21 days,  have a notary provide an affidavit on his behalf to the UK Embassy. Strange considering he is new to Brunei and no one knows him, so why would anyone have objections?  A local paper back home would make more sense but this is the requirement here.  it's not simple - Gretna Green in Scotland is looking better all the time!
