Ordination and ID Cards
Minister License to Perform Weddings and other Ceremonies

If you ask for ordination in the American Fellowship Church, you are indicating that you accept and agree to the American Fellowship Church Code of Ethics.  Before placing your order, please click Code of Ethics to view the Code of Ethics.

Your Minister ID Card and License Your minister identification card certifies that you are a legally ordained and currently licensed minister. You may use the titles Bishop, Deacon, Minister, Preacher, Pastor, Priest, Priestess, Chaplain, Rabbi or any other title that you wish, except Doctor titles. Your ID card is your License, your ID as a Minister, and your small Certificate of Ordination all in one.

Your minister ID card will show that you are licensed to perform wedding ceremonies, baptisms and funerals.

Having minister credentials will allow you to perform the wedding ceremony of a friend or relative*. (See note below re Canada)

In addition, If your ministry takes you to hospitals or prisons, you may use the ID card to help you gain admittance to those institutions. You may also use the card to help obtain special parking privileges when they are available to ordained and licensed ministers.

If you plan to perform marriages for friends or others, we urge you to order our publication "Details of Marriage Laws."  This publication contains important information you need before you perform marriages in the United States.  (see Church Document link). You may or may not be able to perform marriages in other countries. * For example, our ministers may not perform marriages in Canada where very few churches are allowed to do that.

What's on your Minister ID Card....

• It will bear the Church logo.
• Your name and address will be typed on the card
• You need to tell us what title you want before your name, if you want something different from Rev.
• The back of the ID Card is signed by the Bishop
• Shows that you are authorized to perform all duties of the ministry including:
  
  • marriages
  • baptisms
  • funerals
  • other religious ceremonies.

  The Regular ID card and the Five-Year card have a date indicating the card is valid until one year or five years from the date it was issued.
  
  If you would prefer not to have a date on your ID card, you may choose the Lifetime Card which is valid as long as you live. Five-Year and Lifetime cards are laminated in plastic to preserve them over time.
