Thanks for the clarification. What I found is that the “Link to the various states official laws” that leads to the Cornell University site that eventually leads only to the state’s statutes on marriage and domestic partnerships. Your link “ULCnet page of all states” DOES take you to a CURRENT summary of the rules for who may solemnize marriages in Oregon. Interestingly enough, a site claiming to be the official “ULC headquarters site” http://www.ulchq.com/statelaws.htm contains wholly incorrect information. The info it provides about filing credentials with the County Clerk was stricken from the statutes in 2001. I appreciate the forums efforts to provide current and accurate information. Thank you Namaste’

I guess I'm a little slow ... in combing through this forum, I've not yet found a pointer herein to an officialk site ... are you simply saying that the forum speaks only of the need for individuals to refer to official sites??? One of the reasons I brought this up is that the several unofficial sites I've visited refer only to outdated Oregon statutes and regulations that did not recognize ULC ordinations or licensure. Current Oregon regulations do now recognize ULC ministers as having authority to solemnize marriages, provided ULC so authorizes them to perform marriages.

Unfortunatelly, I'm not familiar with the other forum and codes referenced ... Just a note of warning to others, in researching wedding solemnization regulations in the State of Oregon, I found almost all relevant websites had outdated, inaccurate and misleading information (for Oregon). The only place I found with accurate information was going to the State's Secretary of State's website and thereon doing a search for the relevant regulations. Blessings.
