Legal Question in Family Law in Indonesia
Good afternoon,
I was living here in Philippines and I have an Indonesian fiancee. He is a catholic. Unfortunately, he doesn't have surname on his birth certificate. Since we are getting married soon, I would need to put his surname next to my name as part of our culture here. Could you please tell me what will be the first thing to do for him to add surname? Would it be hard for him to renew his US visa if he changed his name? Thanks for your help.

Dear Sir,
Regarding your question, we recommend to you to follow all legal procedures.
Firstly you must completed the terms of the Indonesian marriage Law, see the terms at the Indonesian Embassy in Philippines and also completed the terms of the Philippines marriage Law.
Indonesian regulations to change the name, by submit an application to change name to the district court. (District court of where your fianc� comes)
If the judge of the District Court, granted your application to change her name, 2nd legal procedures is submit an application change of name to Population and Civil Registration Agency based on the determination of the District Court.
