Technically, there is no need for anyone to officiate at a bar or bat mitzvah. The child becomes an adult in the eyes of the Jewish tradition by reaching a certain age (13 for boys, 12 for girls, traditionally), and any 10 adult Jews (traditionally, only men) can hold a service at which the new young adult is included. Typically, however, Jewish congregations hire rabbis, and even larger congregations hire cantors. In such a congregation, the rabbi or cantor may officiate. I have been at a few bar mitzvahs where the bar mitzvah boy himself led the entire service.
