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
Besides the renewal of your License you may be interested in becoming a "Journeyman Minister" by completing three of our four Self-Study courses:
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.
The ID card serves as your proof of ordination as well as your minister's license.

The Ordained Minister's ID Card is an enormously important and credible document, which validates the holder as one who is qualified to serve in the ministry. It is convenient to carry around, as it is pocket size and readily retrievable when needed. The American Fellowship Church is doing such an incredible and thoughtful job in equipping GOD'S people to move fluidly forward, thus advancing the Kingdom's works.

Very quick respond time. Arrived when i needed it. Will continue with this church.
Posted by Rev. Will Fox on 2nd Apr 2021
It seems that many are appointed but not anointed. So many denominations have you run through hoops that the Gospel did not ask for. Paul was called and spent time in the wilderness learning from the Holy Spirit. I have been ministering for 40 years in all formats and the fruits are hundreds that have been saved.
Posted by Chaplain T Lester on 13th Jan 2021
As usual, the renewal process was easy and fast and my new, high quality card was received in just a few days. Thank you American Fellowship Church!
Posted by Rev. Alvin Gille on 13th Dec 2020
I love the process. I moved to you church after being an ordained minister with another church. I find this works better for me and my faith.
Thanks you so much for providing this option and give other voice and opportunity to be heard and legitimized,
God Bless
