Things to take note before going down to Indonesia Embassy:
- Make declaration to renounce Indonesian citizenship by Notary Public
Bring the following documents:
- ICA Approval Letter
- Passport
- SBKRI (Indonesian Citizenship Certificate) if any
- Birth Certificate
- Family Household Card (Kartu Keluarga)
- KTP
- Re-Entry Permit (Form 7)
- Copy of Spouse's Sg IC/Passport
- Copy of Marriage Cert
Do let them know if you don't have any of the documents with you. As for my case, I don't have SBKRI because I was born as Indonesian, not like my parents who have SBKRI because they were then WNA before converting to WNI.
