Through the Universal Life Church Monestary? It is an online ordination service.

Each denomination sets its own rules. You would need to ask your church.

You have to ask what are the requirements for your particular denomination. Ive seen ordained minsters as young as 9, but that is mostly for the novelty effect.
Different denominations have different educational requirements and they are not based on age, with the possible exception of Judaism. You could probably become ordained as a rabbi at 13 as long as you finished 4 years of college and 3 years of post graduate work by the age of 12 so you could complete the mandatory one year internship by the time you turned 13.

Do you mean a real ordained minister, who has graduated from college and then seminary, (which would be based on finishing the required education - not age), or do you mean one of those fame "ordained" preachers on TV or in a lot of the Southern Baptist type churches, where you take a few "classes" and they hand you a certificate saying you are ordained. The ones where they have a regular job, and then "preach" on Sundays???

Ordination is a property of the church. It depends on which you follow. Ours requires answering some questions correctly. Then becoming Baptized.
Ordination doesn't get the minister's license to marry. That's another consideration of the state and another test.

In the old days, some preachers were still in their teens. God is not restricted by organized "schools" and "universities"

there isn't any! Jesus was baptize when he was 30 so that should tell you something about when is a person ready to pick up the work of God.
