a non ordained pastor is a lay minister, he can preach, baptise all he wants.  There are no laws in the US that require a minister to be ordained.  there are denominational rules.  You can be a local Methodist minister if you are not ordained but not on thier pastor listing,   You can start a church of your own and have your members ordain you.\n\nThe only area in the US where there are laws is if you are going to marry someone,  then you have to meet the state laws to marry people,  these vary from none except being a pastor, to strict depending on the state you live in.

You can ask one of your friends to get ordained by the state. You'd have to check  with your state to see how much the fee is. You could make it special by having a close relative or family friend do it and offer to pay the fee.

What you need to do is to first figure out what kind of marriage you would have - civil or religious. \nStep 1. \nRegardless of the process you would have to go to the town's clerk's office and fill out an application for request of marriage licence. At this point you will be asked if a civil or religious. \nStep 2. \nIn case of civil they will point you where you would need to set up an appointment with the judge for you marriage vows. In case of religious, contact your religious institution for the marriage appointment. \nStep 3. \nI believe in both the cases above either the Judge's office or your religious institution will send out the completed licence form back to the municipal office for processing. You wait and then finally get your marriage licence. \nStep 4. \nAssuming you are a US citizen, you can then either shop around a good immigration lawyer or ... do it yourself (depending on the complexicity of the case).

In the past, some Counties like San Diego will deputize you for a day to perform a civil ceremony.  I don't know if they still do this, but check with the L.A. County Clerk's office.\n\nI used one of those "church by mail" things.  I sent in $5 to a P.O. Box listed in the National Enquirer.  For a year, I was a "Reverend" and I performed a friend's ceremony.  They've been married for over 11 years now and I have the videotape to prove it.

How about becoming a legally ordained minister... easiest course in the world. You just give them your name.\n\nThen you can go around absolving people, marrying people and baptizing babies. Its fun!

You have to be baptized.\nYou have to have the Melchizedek Priesthood.\nYou have to be called by God.\nThere are a few other little requirements. But Those are the main ones.

I don't know anything about Utah, but you might ask in the Utah forum at http://www.prisontalk.com\nSomeone there is very likely to have an answer for you.

The above answer is exactly right. I'm a Mormon (not as active with it as some people though) who lives in Utah outside the Salt Lake area. If you're Mormon I'm sure you'll love it, but if not you'd be okay as long as you don't mind Mormons and can be okay working and associating with them. Salt Lake City itself is a little more diverse than areas like Provo and Logan, so it's kind of nice that way. Politics in Utah, as far as I can tell, are entirely controlled by the LDS Church. The schools are decent, not the nation's best, but not the worst by any means. I'd say if you can deal with Mormons and their ideas, you'll be fine in Utah. And the Mormons who are sincere in their beliefs will still associate and be friendly to you even if you aren't interested in joining their faith. Utah is a nice, beautiful place to live with a lot of cool people, and I wouldn't let the LDS (Mormon) church be a factor in not moving to Utah. Plus the whole state is really anti-smoking and I love that!!!

there are actual schools for that sort of position. Also if there is anyway you could get in touch with a wedding planner you could try a sort pf apprenticeship. try looking for things on google.

My mother's boss's husband (that's a mouthful) who's also an old family friend just got ordained online so that he could perform his son's wedding ceremony. It's completely legit as long as you check out the site. Apparently there are some scammy type ways to be ordained online but there are some legitimate ones. I'm actually thinking about him doing my own wedding since we don't attend a specific church and have no minister of our own.

Get married by the Justice of the Peace first, then come home for a church wedding. Your priest will talk to you about it.\n\nWe got married in Hawaii four years ago, and are just now getting all the paperwork straightened out for the church wedding.\n\nWhatever you do, don't let a cleric marry you, or the church may reject your application.

I married my wife in a Mormon Temple in 1971. In the ceremony they tell you that the keys signs and penalties they give you, as you complete your endowment, are guarded by sacred oaths of secrecy. The Church has changed the ceremony at least once since then so I am not sure what they say now. If what they are doing now is the right stuff I don't know how the early Mormon leaders made it to the 3rd level of the celestial kingdom, or is it the other way around and today's Mormon can't make it???

You can become an ordained minister via internet - just google it. This way you can perform marriages. I never heard of a deputy for a day.

I found a page on the Utah government site which discusses the regulations for boxing in the state:\nhttp://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/code/r151/r151-33.htm\n\nI didn't look over it thoroughly (amateur info at the bottom of the page), but it looks like you'll have to be registered with USA Boxing, Inc. in order to be considered a legitimate amateur boxing promoter. There's contact information for your state at http://www.usaboxing.org/772.htm
