Within how long must a marriage in Thailand, Indonesia or Saudi Arabia be registered in Malaysia?

For the Federal Territories, within six months (Act 303 s.31); the texts of the eleven other state enactments and the Sarawak Ordinance (s.29) that were checked also set six months, while Terengganu (s.29) sets two months after first arriving in Malaysia, according to an unofficial copy of the 2017 text. Muslims resident in Malaysia who marry abroad must register the marriage in the state where they reside. Registration can be done at the Islamic Religious Affairs Office/Registrar of Marriages, or at the Malaysian embassy/consulate in the country concerned. Late registration incurs a fine, and delay makes it harder to register the children's births, claim maintenance and inherit. Do not leave a marriage abroad unregistered.
