North Carolina does have a law (North Carolina General Statutes ยง 51-1) that specifies who can solemnize marriages. This includes all ministers, including those ordained online by Cibus Mission. However, there are no laws, offices, or procedures requiring officiants to register with any government office.
In simple terms, once you are ordained online by Cibus Mission, you immediately have the legal authority to officiate weddings anywhere in North Carolina. If you have been asked to officiate a wedding in North Carolina, get ordained with Cibus Mission today!
Becoming ordained with Cibus Mission is simple. Get ordained, watch a free training video or live course, choose your credential package.
Your Ministry Credentials include a license number, title and more. While there are no officiant registration requirements in North Carolina, you must be an ordained minister to legally perform marriages. Local regulations in North Carolina state that wedding officiants designated as “Ministers” must be ordained by a religious organization, such as Cibus Mission.
Although you are not required to register with any North Carolina government office as a wedding officiant, 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 requests to see evidence of your ordination.
We recommend ordering your Featured Officiant Package to receive your official ministry credentials. Your package includes your official Ordination Certificate and Letter of Good Standing as well as your photo on our webpage as we are honored that you have chosen to serve love.
