               Abstract. This study aims to analyze the legal status of overseas marriage registration from the
               perspective of Indonesian marriage law. Law Number 16 of 2019, amendments to Law Number
               1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, states that marriages conducted by Indonesian citizens outside
               Indonesia are legal if carried out according to law. which applies in the country where the
               marriage is taking place and for Indonesian citizens does not violate the provisions of the
               Marriage Law. Furthermore, within 1 (one) year after the husband and wife return to the territory
               of Indonesia, proof of their marriage must be registered at the marriage registration office where
               they live. There is still a problematic status of the registration law, whether it makes the validity
               of the marriage or is it only limited to the administrative order. This research uses a conceptual
               approach, a statutory approach, a historical approach and a philosophical approach. Legal
               materials used in this study consist of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and
               tertiary legal materials which are normative in nature by searching, collecting and studying
               literature and documents, both conventionally and via the internet. The results of this study are
               the legal status of marriage registration abroad in the perspective of Indonesian marriage law,
               precisely in Article 56 of Law no. 16 of 2019 amendments to Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning
               Marriage, it can be concluded in general that the legal status of overseas marriage registration
               still does not provide legal certainty regarding the validity of marriage except for the extent of
               an administrative order. And there are three legal principles in Article 56 of the Marriage Law,
               namely: the lex patriae principle, the lex loci celebration principle and the principle of public
               order.

       Introduction
       Law   undergoes  changes  following the development   of society's legal needs which  are
not static. The rapid development   of globalization in the fields of economy,   social, culture,
science and technology  today  has given color to the development  of law (Beneria  et al., 2015;
Sorokin,  2017).  The  advancement of transportation and communication technology, for
example,  has provided more  and  more opportunities  to visit almost every point in the world in
a relatively fast time.
       The  world and mankind   seemed  to be a world village. Globalization in the socio-cultural
field, can be seen from the legal activities of Indonesian citizens (WNI) who come  into contact
with  foreign citizens, such as marriages  between  Indonesian   citizens or one of the foreign
