Ordinations from the Universal Life Church Ministries are recognized across the vast majority of the United States. That said, we are aware of a distinct few problem areas where marriage officials will sometimes call into question the validity of ULC ordinations.
When speaking with a city or town clerk, kindly explain that you are a minister of the Universal Life Church located in Seattle, WA, that you are planning to perform a wedding, and that you'd like to know what documentation they need to see from you. Any lingering concerns they might have can typically be resolved by presenting official proof of your ordination.
However, if you continue to encounter pushback from government officials, please contact us directly to explain the situation.
