Just gone through the process of ROM in JPN Putrajaya and would like to share some info.
I guess in most cases, Chinese would like to have the ROM done in Tien Hau temple. But found out that it's only permitted if either one is Buddhist. Since we are both Christians, JPN is the best option. In order to avoid hassle, we went straight to the one in Putrajaya.
Then comes the funny part. I'm from Selangor and my wife is from KL. She can submit her form in Putrajaya. But for me, I need to submit in Petaling Jaya. Kind of odd considering that JPN Putrajaya is supposed to be the HQ. Here's the loophole. In the building itself, you can update your Selangor MyKad address to KL address. Just cost RM7. Far cheaper than driving all the way back to Petaling Jaya and paying for toll and parking. After updating my address to KL address, we headed back downstairs to the ROM department. Since both candidates are KL 'residents' now, we can proceed as usual. Submitted stuff like IC and passport sized photo. Blue or white background does not matter.
They'll provide a date for you if there's no preferred ones. The list is quite full for the month of September. So, do expect them to give you a date which is more than a month eventhough the 'notice board' thingy is 21 days. They'll inform you that the time is at 8am. But when we check the letter, it shows between 8m-11am. Information from the internet says that you need to submit the witness's photocopy IC (and nominate 2 names). But they didn't ask us for it. Still, be safe and bring it. When this is done, go home and wait for the big day.
On the actual day, we arrived before at 7:30am. There's already a couple before us and another 3 more after us. So, be there early. First come first serve basis. After presenting your letter and IC, they'll print out a form for you to double check. Verify the information. They'll ask you to wait. In less than 10 minutes (depending on crown as well), they'll announce your name and room number. Head inside and wait for the officials to arrive. During this time, feel free to take pictures.
When the official arrived, the bride, groom and witness will sit down. Others are still allowed to take pictures but be abit respectful. Both bride and groom and stand up and do acknowledge some oath thing. Just some simple "yes" and "kami faham" words. The official will read the stuff for you. Now, time to sign the cert. You are now officially a couple. The official leaves the room. You'll have a few minutes to take more pictures (there's even an arch for decoration) and exchange rings.
That's all. Feel free to send a PM if you need more info. I've heard that Tien Hau temple requires some sort of "akuan sumpah" but JPN Putrajaya seems simpler. All done in less than an hour under the same roof.
