Thread: how to get Indonesian passport for my daughter

I am currently living in Bali with my indonesian partner (getting married next month) and our 3 month old baby. My daughter arrived on her Australian passport with a 60 day sponsored visa to be extended each month. I need to know how I can register my daughter as an indonesian and also obtain an indonesian passport for her. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure where you are from, but my daughter, born in Perth to my Indo wife and i has
Australian citizenship. We applied at Indo consulate in perth and got Indo passport for her. So basicaly she has dual passports.

Goldminer they are not married so its a bit more difficult, were was the baby born & is your partners name on the birth certificate. no such thing as defacto relationship in Indonesia.

Yea, your right Fred, but they are getting married soon, and as you say, where was baby born.

my baby was born in australia and yes her fathers name is on the birth certificate.

I think the easy way is
To get married first as it will be much more easy. When you get married go to the Kanwil & Immigration to register the birth & apply for a passport. Make sure you have a prenup before you marry. When you are married you can apply for a Kitas this allow you to stay in Indonesia for 12 months.
