An ordained minister is one who has been recognized by an ordaining body which has provided them credentials of ordination. This is usually a university, seminary, or church. Ministers may also become ordained over the internet or by mail, usually for the payment of a fee or "offering".

Various states and localities have different requirements to recognize ministers who perform ordinances, such as weddings, in their jurisdictions. If a state or locality accepts your ordination, they will license you to perform ordinances in their jurisdiction. Many localities do not recognize online ordinations as valid and will not license those who hold these types of ordinations.

The main area where this becomes an issue is with weddings, as a marriage is not just a religious event, but also a binding legal contract. Because of the legal ramifications of marriage, many states and localities will place additional requirements on an officiant before granting him/her a license to perform marriages.
