In order not to be confused, each process will be described below.

Before starting the steps to the KUA office, first prepare all the following files:

• Photocopy of ID card
• Photocopy of Family Card
• Color photo
• Photocopy of birth certificate
• Copy of last diploma

If all the files are complete, then the procedure that must be done is:

1. First come to the local RT head to ask for a cover letter to the kelurahan
2. After getting letter an introduction from the RT then come to the kelurahan office to ask for a cover letter to the KUA
3. Next, come to KUA with the files that have been completed when at the village office
4. The first thing that is asked to do is determine the location of the wedding, if the marriage is done at the KUA then no a fee will be charged, it's different if the wedding is done at home then the penghulu must come to the location so that it is collected cost.
5. Pay the wedding fee at the bank that has been appointed by the KUA
6. After the payment is complete, the next step is pre-wedding guidance by KUA staff. This mentoring process is carried out for the two brides.
7. If the mentoring process is complete, you will be asked to inject TT immunization at the puskesmas appointed by the KUA. Later proof of TT immunization will be submitted to the KUA.
