AML Application

AML Requirements

License recognizes volunteer or unpaid service as a Licensed Ministry Worker; it does not designate the holder as a minister.

Ordination recognizes paid part-time or full-time service as an Ordained Minister. Paid ministers must apply for ordination, not licensing.

Applicants must be at least 18.
Provide a certificate, diploma, or degree showing completed Bible education.
Provide current ministry details.
Provide two ministry references.
Ordination applicants must also provide proof of paid ministerial service.
Applying is free.
After acceptance:
- Licensing: $100
- Ordination: $150
- Payment is made by PayPal invoice.

After payment, you receive a signed digital certificate privately and a physical wallet credential card valid for 12 months. Annual renewal includes a brief ministry report describing your ministry activity over the past year and your plans for the coming year. A new card is issued after each approved annual renewal and payment. A printed certificate is optional; international mailing costs are quoted separately.

Before applying, read the Statement of Faith & Applicant Policies.

Complete all required fields, upload the requested documents, and agree to the required statements before submitting.
