Don't know the number, but if you want to be ordained, click the link. http://www.themonastery.org/?destination=ordination

In some states, like Florida, Notary Publics are allowed to perform wedding ceremonies. Then, when you're not doing weddings, you can charge people money for your signature.

The Universal Life Church does ordain people online. http://www.themonastery.org/ The cool bit about the ULC is that they allow you to create your own congregation and name your new church anything you would like to name it. You get a fresh new church but with the old ULC behind it, which can be a mixed blessing. My father-in-law started a new congregation through the ULC for purely religious reasons. He says he's lucky it was for purely religious reasons because at one point his church's council looked into getting some form of IRS religious tax exemption for a charity fundraising event, and discovered that the IRS scrutinizes the ULC a little harder than other religious organizations when it comes to religious tax exemptions. If you are planning on using the religious tax exemption mostly for personal gain, then forget about the ULC. Another online ordination service is the World Christianship Ministries (http://www.ordain.org/weddings.html), who do charge money to ordain you, but they include a bunch of wedding service information, and small business advice, to help you get started as a wedding minister. [EDIT] Answerbag added a third option through its contextual advertising: The Church Of Living Water (http://tcolw.com/). Unlike the World Christianship Ministries, this organization's ordination is free. However, they make you complete a free basic seminary-like course on the Christian religion before granting you ordination, as a way to make the ordination seem more legitimate. Just for the record, the ULC requires no specific religious framework in order to become ordained.[EDIT] However, you should note that marriage law is different depending on the state you live in. From the World Christianship Ministries website: "Question: Will I be able to do weddings in all states?" "Answer: Yes, you may perform legal weddings in all states as an ordained or licensed minister (clergy). A few states require you to have an actual congregation first and a few will require you to file a copy of your certificate of ordination, ordination certificate, with the marriage license office, or other office, before doing a wedding. Nevada requires your ministry to be established formally (with a congregation) before you get permission to do weddings. New York City requires you to formally establish your ministry in 'unconstitutional ways' before they give permission to do legal marriages. The rest of New York state goes by different rules. Most of the states require nothing except that you be ordained or licensed and properly complete the marriage license after the ceremony and file it timely back with the county. If you live in Canada it is not easy to get permission to do weddings there as their laws are much different than the USA."
