Your daughter who lives in tn plans to be married in South Carolina in June she wants your father who lives in Ohio to perform the ceremony he is not an ordained minister what must he do?
Marriages are made legal by a marriage license that is issued by the state, not by the church. The law does not stipulate that wedding ceremonies must be performed by an ordained minister. Since the US enjoys freedom of religion, you are free to use any religious or non-religious marriage ceremony you like. Your father can perform a ceremony without being an ordained minister.

What is the difference between an Ordained Pastor and a Licensed Pastor?
An ordained minister has been examined by a congregation and found to be orthodox in his beliefs. Then, those that have interviewed him certify or vouch for his orthodoxy and lay hands on him and prayer for his ministry. They then sign a paper stating that he is ordained by that group. To be licensed is to have the state's registration. It includes what affiliation the minister claims. There is not an examination of orthodoxy. Ministers are allowed to perform certain actions such as marriage with the state license.

If one is an ordained deacon then becomes a minister do you have do be ordained again as a minister?
Deacon and minister are just titles within a church. Once you are ordained you technically hold all of these titles and can perform all of the duties, but can specialize in one at a time, often your church will appoint you to such positions sometimes in a hierarchy. This is really a question for your church on how they treat such titles, but I don't know of any religion that doesn't consider being ordained for life.
