Most states will require you to register with the local courthouse. This usually involved a "no" hassle process. The best thing to do is to call your local county's courthouse and talk with the clerk's office. Tell them exactly who you are and what information you are looking for and they will direct your call.
Some local governments do have this information on a website but you would have to search your particluar state, city, county.
God Bless.

It depends on the state that you live in. Some have requirements, such as a letter of "good intention" from your church, and some only require you to have the certificate of ordination visible.
Contact a justice of the peace in your area. He/she should be able to put you in touch with the right government office to contact.

it varies from state to state.
in west virginia you must be registered. and pay a fee to be registered.
in Maryland there is no registration.
you should check your local state website and look up marriage laws in your state.
a quick phone call to the clerk of the county court could be very helpful also. he will ahve the most up to date information that you can get.

I assume (by the poor spelling) that you are a teenager. I suggest you talk to a reference librarian (public library) for information about this. Or ask your pastor. Yes, you have to be licensed, and usually have a collage and seminary education.

Did we miss the theological classes about the use of proper English and spelling?

I believe so, because you have to be licensed to performed weddings etc. Check with your church, if you have one.
