The app splits the wedding into 12 categories. The first one is the nikah paperwork, because it has the longest lead time and the least room for mistakes. The rest follow roughly the order you will spend money on them.
In the dashboard you can add your own items and hide the ones that do not apply. On this page, the list is the stock version.

SPPIM is the online marriage-permission system for nine states: Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Perlis, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Johor, Terengganu and the Federal Territories. Penang, Sarawak, Kelantan and Pahang run their own portals, and Sabah still hands out forms at the pejabat agama. The steps below are what the SPPIM site describes, in plain words.
Fill in the basic details to get an application reference number. Both of you get an email notification.
Search with your IC number and the reference number, then fill in the rest. You can save halfway and come back. Download the HIV screening form early, the clinic visit takes time.
Each of you downloads your own set: the kebenaran form, the HIV form, and for the bride the wakalah wali and tertib wali forms. Print the senarai semak too.
In Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Perlis, Kedah, Perak, Selangor and the Federal Territories, take the forms to the PPNCR at your masjid kariah. Johor and Terengganu skip this step, the Pendaftar confirms it at the pejabat agama.
Upload the supporting documents and submit. If you are under different pejabat agama, the groom submits first and the bride submits once his is approved. Nothing can be edited after submission, so check the spelling of every name.
Go in once the email or the portal says so, and pay the fees online or at the counter, depending on the state.
These nine are wajib for everyone in SPPIM states. Original plus one certified copy unless noted. The interactive list above also carries the dokumen berkaitan (court permission, wakalah wali, mastautin letter and the like) and the extra papers for a non-citizen spouse.
Anything tied to a date goes first. Popular halls and caterers are gone a year ahead for school-holiday weekends, and a good mak andam takes maybe two bookings a day.
Most of the Protocol, Souvenirs and Transportation categories land here. It is the part where a shared list pays off, because half the items are being done by a cousin, not by you.
The e-card sits in the Protocol category, and it is the one you can finish in an afternoon. A digital card goes out as a single link, gets edited after sending if a name is wrong, and its RSVP feeds the headcount you need for the caterer. Finish it early and one whole row of the list goes grey.
Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Perlis, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Johor, Terengganu and the Federal Territories (Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Labuan). Penang uses e-Munakahat, Sarawak uses KISWA, Kelantan uses e-Qaryah, Pahang has its own e-Munakahat, and Sabah gives out forms at the pejabat agama.
90 days from the date it is issued. If the nikah slips past that, you apply again.
Six months from the test date. Do it after the date is fixed, not a year ahead.
The venue or canopy and the caterer. Both are tied to a date, and the good slots on school-holiday weekends go a year out. Photographer and mak andam come next.
Design it 3 to 4 months before the majlis and send it 4 to 8 weeks out. A digital card takes hours to make, but parents’ full names and the address still need a family read-through.
Yes, in this browser only. Clear your site data and it is gone. The dashboard version saves to your account, and your partner can tick from their phone too.
Your digital invitation, ready in hours. Pay once, from RM10.
