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 order our publication "Details of Marriage Laws." This publication 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....
You may become legally ordained right now by ordering an Ordination ID Card which is also your Minister License.

This card is great only you should have a way to download a image of the person to go on the card,
still the card is very nice with perfect detailed information on it, God continue to bless you. You made this experience very easy and pleasant.

I did my research and chose American Fellowship Church to begin my ministerial career. Their code of ethics and direction are one of the best I could find. I look forward to a long and rewarding association in which I can help others develop their spirituality and well being in a positive way.

A quick and easy way to be ordained to fulfill the requirements of the state to perform officiant duties at a friends wedding.
Affordable, too.

This is wonderful product that American Fellowship Church is offering through their ministry. The faith, belief, and religion is just great.

I received attention, confirmation, and my card and papers promptly.

I am very satisfied, the card is professional. Received it quickly, am very happy

Many years ago I pastored a few small churches, but soon realized my call was to teach and write. Even though I have a B.A. in Religion, churches don't give out a license or ordination for teaching the Gospel or for inspirational writing. I'm now a published author and write many messages. AFC's license and ordination gives me the recognition for God's calling and anointing on my life. Thanks for licensing me.

I love my new ID card. It's professional and sturdy. I can now be identified when needed to work in various areas of the ministry. Thank you!

I was so happy to receive my card! I am proud to be a part of this wonderful club!

The ID card is nice and the processing time was quick

Love having a sturdy, 'professional' ID card, as well as dated. Makes it easier to work in Hospital setting with my limited congregation.
Posted by Pastor WE on 25th Aug 2014
I am very pleased with the service I have received. Service was fast and though there was a mistake on my initial card (Reverend instead of Pastor), when I informed the Church, my new, corrected card was received with 3 days. Excellent and very professional.
I definitely agree with adding a license number rather than calling it an account number, as the card says Ordained Minister's License.
In any event, what you are providing the men and women of God is outstanding. Cannot wait to perform my first wedding in December of 2014. Thank you and may you be blessed.
Posted by Deacon Mike Fiegenbaum on 20th Aug 2014
I agree with all the great things described in the reviews. However, as Deacon Olson mentioned, an account number (or membership number or ordainment ID or some such) on the card would provide an added touch of authenticity.
Thanks.
****** Response from AFC:
Thank you for your kind words, and taking the time to provide us with helpful feedback Deacon Fiegenbaum. We are considering this and working on the possibility of implementing the suggestion.

I would recommend this to all

Fast, excellent service and received quickly
Posted by Deacon Reed Olson on 18th Jul 2014
The membership card looks fine. I would have liked to have an account number on the card so I can place my name, the churches name and the membership number on the marriage certificate.
Posted by Reverand George Jay Gouker on 14th Jun 2014
I am very happy and honored to be a member of The American Fellowship Church. I first became an Ordained back in February 2006 and have never regretted my decision. I really love the all new I.D membership cards (except for the expiration date printed on it because I cannot afford a lifetime membership fee at this time).
Processing and shipping is very fast.
The American Fellowship Church is a very fine organization with great leadership.

I recently renewed my minister license with AFC. The new license arrived in less than a week, with timely emails along the way. Great service!
Plus one of the things I like about AFC is that they provide so much helpful information on their website. It made the process feel less confusing.
Plus, and I know this is sorta weird, but the License card just looks nice.
Anyway, I was licensed from AFC before when I was asked to perform the wedding for my sister. And when I got married to my spouse I recommended AFC to the friend who officiated our wedding. I know there are other options out there, but I'd highly recommend AFC.
Thanks!!
