Get Ordained

The Universal Life Church Monastery ordination is fast, free, and lasts a lifetime. It allows anyone over the age of 18 to perform legally-recognized wedding, baptismal, and burial ceremonies in most states and counties in the United States.

The online ordination process is exceedingly simple. You will be asked to provide the following information to become legally ordained online through the ULC:

• Full legal name
• Current home address
• Preferred e-mail address

Online ordination is a serious matter. Only use factual information, capitalize when appropriate, and remember that your ordination will be entered into the ULC Monastery's database exactly as it you enter it.

Upon completion of the online ordination process, you will receive a confirmation e-mail from the ULC Monastery that will also contain information about the resources we offer as well as what documentation you need to perform ministerial services.
