Can I Officiate Weddings in Other States?

Yes. Your ordination is valid in all US States and Territories, with the exception of Virginia. Your ordination is not specific to your state of residency and you can officiate weddings in states where you do not reside.

If you do plan on performing marriage in a state other than your own, make sure to complete any Minister Registration Requirements. Most states do not have any laws requiring you to register before officiating weddings. Below is a list of States where minister registration is required.
