How Do You Perform a Wedding in Arizona

The first step will be contacting the county clerk's office in the county where the wedding will be held. Identify yourself as a minister and inquire about what documents the officials will need to see from you. You may be asked to show a number of items to verify your ordination status. Be aware, however, that these requirements often vary from county to county (which is why it's best to contact officials beforehand). You can find any of the required documents at the Minister Store on this website.

For the address of ministry, put your personal ministry or home address. Do not put the address of ULC headquarters. Lastly, make sure the marriage license is returned to the issuing office before the deadline ends!
