Loading... Please wait...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 License ID Card
You can become ordained online today, when you order your minister license and ID card.
Your minister identification card certifies that you are a legally ordained and currently licensed minister.You may use the titles Pastor, Bishop, Deacon, Minister, Preacher, Priest, Priestess, Chaplain, Rabbi or any other title that you wish, except Doctor titles.
- Your ID card is your Minister 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.
Performing Weddings and Marriage Ceremonies
If you plan to perform marriages for friends or others, we urge you to review our "Minister Licensing Laws" page.
This page contains important information you need before you perform marriages in the United States.
Some states have special requirements and in a very few areas, (such as Nevada) our ministers cannot perform
marriages unless they have an actual congregation or perhaps can't perform marriages at all.We suggest you order our publication "Details of Marriage Laws" to be well informed.
Additionally 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.(To order "Details of Marriage Laws" in USA see Church Documents )
Testimonial from one of our ministers...
Since my becoming a minister of the American Fellowship Church, my life has been spiritually, mentally, and physically changed to a degree whereas I know that there is only one way to go, and that is with God.
Rev. H. W., Virginia
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 Minister License ID card and the Five-Year Minister License ID 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 Minister 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.
- If you are ordering an ID card for someone other than yourself, you need to put that person's name and address (as it should appear on the ID card) above.
- Although we don't promise, we often process orders immediately so we rely on the information you provide with the order. If you did not provide the full and correct information, we may have to re-do the order at your expense.
You may become legally ordained right now by ordering an Ordination ID Card which is also your Minister License.
The ID card serves as your proof of ordination as well as your minister's license.

I have known for years that God was calling me to step out in faith and put my love for Him and others into action. Being ordained and licensed didn't change me, for I was already ordained of God; but it will help me gain access to others who need God. And how great it is to know I can officiate weddings. Thanks so much. Quick and simple to obtain. Excellent service.

I have been looking for a way to stay in my faith but not be tied to my church in a paid position where I was locked into having my church dictate my schedule.This product allows me to choose where and when I minister. I feel this church best fits my needs.

I am very satisfied with the items that I ordered. I thank AFC for all their assistance in helping me fulfill my calling. God bless AFC, and all the Ministers that are ordained through them.

The fact that I can legally preach the word of God and stand in his pulpit there is no greater gift in the world. American Fellowship Church afforded me that gift. All of us who have heard the call can't afford to do it traditionally and you guys believed us and made it possible. Thank you
Posted by Rev. Robin Wilcox on 11th Oct 2014
The Ordination certificate is very official looking and it serves my purpose well. What I was hoping to do is add it to my resume and possibly move on to a Chaplaincy for Hospice work. Between my past work as an Assistant Pastor at our local church / nursing home ministry / Hospice ministry / etc., I hope the ordination from your church will push me ahead. I wanted to take your ministry training course also, to insure my qualification of a local minster of God's work.
Thank you for everything.

I was an ordained deacon in the American Baptist Church. After leaving that church, I was unable to perform the duties to which I was trained to do. By being part of the American Fellowship Church, I can now perform duties within the legal limits of the state in which I perform them.

All items received in a timely manner and quality of material were on par with my expectations. I will recommend others as well as use them for future items.

The service and response from the American Fellowship Church was so much more than expected. The delivery time was extremely fast and the product was exactly as promised. I did a lot of research before selecting them and I could not be more pleased. They have set the pace for me to move forward with my dream of prison ministry in by area. So grateful.. God Bless this church and its mission.

I am humbled by this appointment that the Lord has given me. I am also very grateful American Fellowship Church for walking with me on this journey with the Lord. Amen
Posted by T. Coen on 6th Sep 2013
I'd been humbly and honorably asked to officiate the wedding of some friends of mine. Her I've known 20+ yrs him 2 about. I'd contemplated seminary many years ago and am still considering it however when asked many months ago to assume this honorable and humbling responsibility it set about me inside a sense and desire for deeper commitment with the Lord as I know him... Look forward to many more years to come in serving Him
