Though there are no officiant registration requirements in Arizona, you must be an ordained minister to be able to legally perform marriage. Local regulations in Arizona stipulate that wedding officiants under the designation of "Minister" be ordained by a religious organization, such as American Marriage Ministries.

An ordained minister from the Universal Life Church has the legal authority to conduct a "religious ceremony" even if the wedding ceremony itself contains no religious vows or elements. Once the Arizona marriage license is obtained, the ceremony can take place on any day within one year of issuance.
