Wedding Officiant Ordination Certificate Templates
Getting ordained to officiate a wedding is one of the most common reasons people seek ordination in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada. Whether you're ordained through the Universal Life Church, American Marriage Ministries, or your own church, a professionally printed wedding officiant ordination certificate makes a meaningful keepsake of that calling. It is not a marriage licence or proof of legal authority — the ordaining body and your county clerk decide what is needed to officiate. Our free editable wedding officiant certificate templates let you add the officiant's full name, the ordaining church or organisation, the state or country, and the ceremony date, then download a print-ready 300 DPI PDF in minutes.

What Is a Wedding Officiant Ordination Certificate?
A wedding officiant ordination certificate — also called a certificate of ordination for wedding officiants — is a keepsake a church, denomination or ordination body gives to record that a person has been ordained. It typically includes the officiant's full name, the name of the ordaining church or body, the date of ordination and the signatures of church leadership. It is not a marriage licence, a government registration or proof of legal authority to officiate.
