What are the Wedding Officiant Registration Requirements in Oklahoma?

No Officiant Registration is Required

You may be surprised to hear this, but wedding officiants in Oklahoma are not required to register with any government office prior to performing marriage. The Oklahoma State Government has no laws requiring officiant registration or office dedicated to the registration of wedding officiants.

 

Oklahoma does have a law (Oklahoma Statutes § 43-7) that specifies who can solemnize marriage. This includes all ministers, including online ordained ministers of American Marriage Ministries. However, there are no laws, offices, or procedures requiring officiants to register with any government office.

 

Simply put, once you are an online ordained minister of American Marriage Ministries you immediately have the legal ability to officiate weddings anywhere in Oklahoma. If you have been asked to officiate a wedding in Oklahoma, Get ordained with AMM today!

 

Ordination with AMM is fast, free, and simple. To learn more about getting ordained in Oklahoma with AMM, check out our Get Ordained in Oklahoma page.

Keep Records of Your Ministry Credentials

Though there are no officiant registration requirements in Oklahoma, you must be an ordained minister to be able to legally perform marriage. Local regulations in Oklahoma stipulate that wedding officiants under the designation of "Minister" be ordained by a religious organization, such as American Marriage Ministries.

 

While you are not required to register with any Oklahoma government office as a wedding officiant, it is a good idea to keep personal records of your official Ministry Credentials. Proof of your ordination is essential in the event that the couple, government officials, or the wedding venue request to see proof of your ordination.

 

We recommend that you order your Oklahoma Minister Ordination Package to receive your official ministry credentials. Your package includes your official Ordination Certificate and Letter of Good Standing.

 

Your Letter of Good Standing is signed by a church officer, dated, and notarized. Your Minister Ordination Package also includes your AMM Minister's Manual, a valuable resource for officiant training information.

 

Part of the proceeds from your order will go towards our charitable activities. So along with receiving your AMM ministry credentials, you are also helping to support a good cause.
