Ordination Name Change
Your default ordination name corresponds to the name you originally entered into your application for ordination. You may contact us and request a name change if your legal name has changed since the time you were first ordained.
Ordination Date Change
Your default ordination date corresponds to the date you originally completed your application for ordination. You may contact us and request a different date under the following circumstance:
If you were ordained prior to your default ordination date (in-person, under a different name, or via a different system) we may be able to renew your ordination. You will need to contact our support staff for a short interview and will likely be asked to provide proof of your prior ordination, like a scan of your old ordination document. Please keep in mind that we are only able to "renew" your ordination. Any documents you order will display both your proven original ordination date and the "renewal" ordination date on which your information was logged in the Universal Life Church databases.

Minnesota Legal Requirements
The state of Minnesota requires all ministers ordained with the Universal Life Church to provide a Letter of Good Standing with the church.
For your convenience we have added the required notarized letter bearing the live signatures of the authorized church officials that will comply with your local laws.
We remind you to get ordained if you haven't already. This is the first step in the process that will allow you to legally officiate weddings of friends and family. You can also perform baptisms, preside over funerals, offer blessings, and even absolve the sins of others.
Universal Life Church ministers come from all walks of life and spiritual traditions. Whether you identify as Catholic, Christian, Buddhist, Pagan, Muslim, or even Atheist or Agnostic, we recognize and offer products needed for your ministry. Our common thread is our adherence to the Universal Life Church doctrine:
"Do only that which is right."
