An ordained minister or priest only. However civil marriage can be performed by a judge, a captain, a chaplain, or a justice of the peace,
Yes, a pastor from Arizona can marry a couple in California, provided they comply with California's marriage laws. The pastor must be legally recognized as an officiant in California, which typically includes being ordained and following state regulations regarding marriage ceremonies. The couple must also obtain a marriage license from a California county before the ceremony.
After the ceremony, the ordained or legally authorized clergy/rabbi should sign the certificate, and it must be returned to the judge or court within 30 days of the union.
He should if the state allows it
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.
The ordaining of Reverends is performed in accordance with the church that they belong too. Usually they are ordained by one holding a higher authority.
Yes, an ordained minister can perform their own marriage in Washington State. According to Washington law, there are no specific restrictions preventing an officiant from marrying themselves. However, it is advisable for the couple to ensure that they meet all legal requirements for marriage, such as obtaining a marriage license, to ensure the validity of the ceremony.
The only available information is that Vincent was ordained a priest in 1600 but the name of the bishop who performed the ceremony is not mentioned.
Check with a family law attorney, but copies must be filed with the county issuing the license, not the state office. If a marriage license was issued and a ceremony was performed by a magistrate or ordained minister the license should be returned to the county that issued the license. If it was lost by the post office, a delayed marriage license can be filed. Check with the issuing Register of Deed's office, not Raleigh.
Both. A wedding is legal no matter how or where it is performed. A christian wedding is just a wedding performed through the church because the christian belief is that God ordained marriage and it is done through the church - but it's still legal and binding as well.
Being ordained is not a requirement. Having the legal authority by the state is, otherwise every Jehovah's Witness could perform weddings.
can a retired small town judge perform wedding ceremonies
