Florida does have a law Florida Statutes § 741.07 that specifies who can solemnize marriages. This includes all ministers, including online ordained ministers of Cibus Mission. As stated below:
” 741.07 Persons authorized to solemnize matrimony.—
(1) All regularly ordained ministers of the gospel or elders in communion with some church, or other ordained clergy, and all judicial officers, including retired judicial officers, clerks of the circuit courts, and notaries public of this state may solemnize the rights of matrimonial contract, under the regulations prescribed by law. Nothing in this section shall make invalid a marriage which was solemnized by any member of the clergy, or as otherwise provided by law prior to July 1, 1978.”
In simple terms, once you become an online ordained minister of Cibus Mission, you immediately have the legal ability to officiate weddings anywhere in Florida. If you have been asked to officiate a wedding in Florida, get ordained with Cibus Mission today!
Although there are no officiant registration requirements in Florida, you must be an ordained minister to legally perform a marriage. Local regulations in Florida state that wedding officiants under the designation of “Minister” must be ordained by a religious organization, such as Cibus Mission.
It is advisable to keep personal records of your official Ministry Credentials. Proof of your ordination is crucial in case the couple, government officials, or the wedding venue request to see proof of your ordination.
We recommend that you order your Florida Minister Ordination Package to receive your official ministry credentials.
