Get Ordained

Becoming a minister brings with it many benefits. Once ordained, you can:

  • Perform legal wedding ceremonies all across the U.S.
  • Perform baptisms
  • Preside over funerals and memorial services
  • Perform house blessings and hand-fasting ceremonies
  • Start your own ministry

Keep in mind that your membership, license, and credentials never expire. They are valid for life you will never be charged a renewal fee

Your legal title is Minister or Clergy.

Our instructional video gives a great overview on the entire process of performing a wedding. We've also laid out the basic preparation steps below:

  1. Get ordained.
  2. Contact the marriage office where the couple plans to get their marriage license. Inform them that you are a licensed minister and ask what documents you will be required to present with the marriage license application. More information can be found on our State Marriage Laws page.

You'll likely be required to present one (or both) of the below items. Be advised, too, that several states have their own special registration paperwork. Before placing your order, please check if the state where you will be performing the wedding requires special paperwork. Any state-specific documents you might need are available in our State Packages.

  1. Log in using the email address and password you entered when becoming ordained. Navigate to the Ministry Supplies page, where you will find any documents or materials you might need. The two most requested items include the Ordination Certificate and the Letter of Good Standing.

To place an order, follow these steps:
  1. Log in to your account.
  2. Click on the Ministry Supplies tab.
  3. Browse the catalog using the categories on the left, or the search function at the top to find what you're looking for.
  4. After selecting an item, scroll down to the bottom, fill out the required information, and click "Add to Cart".
  5. Double-check that your cart contains all the items you need and then hit "Proceed to Check Out". If you need to add more items, click the "Shop More" button.
  6. Verify your shipping/billing information, select a shipping speed, then hit "Proceed to Payment".
  7. Input your payment information and review your order summary. When you're ready, click "Place Your Order".
  8. If the order was processed successfully, the order details will then be displayed along with an order number. If the order did not process for some reason, look for an error message at the top of the page and try again.

If you placed an order and are waiting for the order to arrive, please note that the standard delivery time is 3-10 business days. Orders shipped to Alaska and Hawaii may take an additional day, and certain degrees and titles will take an additional week to arrive.

If your order is marked "delivered" but you haven't received it, here are some tips:

  • Look around to see if the driver decided to hide the package.
  • Check if someone else may have accepted the delivery.
  • Verify that you entered the right shipping address.
  • Look for a notice of attempted delivery.
  • Look for a slip notifying you of an attempted delivery.
  • Check inside your mailbox, or wherever you receive mail.
  • If are certain the package is lost, please contact us so we can investigate the matter and find a solution.

If you want to change your order, please note that we cannot add any items to an existing order. If your order has not yet shipped, we recommend cancelling the order and then re-ordering with the new item(s) included. If your order has already left our facility, you will have to place a brand-new order to get those additional item(s).

Your ordinations are completely legal, and are recognized across the United States. Upon applying for ordination, the applicant is deputized as a member of the ULC clergy. Your ordination credential, card-sized credential, and Letter of Good Standing can all serve as legal proof of your ordination. Note: they must include your full legal name.

An important aspect of the ULC mission is to ensure that everyone may enjoy the right and statutory privilege given to members of the clergy, irrespective of their faith or lack thereof.

The ULC is incorporated as an active non-profit church in Washington state. To view a record of our incorporation, please visit the Washington Secretary of State's website.
