I realize that this question has been asked before, but I was hoping for an update if anyone can provide one. Are there any ULC members in Washington, DC who are authorized to perform marriages and would be willing to endorse others? Thanks

I'm yet another person trying to register with DC to perform a marriage this summer in the district.

I find it disheartening to see so many people here on the forum with the same problem - has anyone found a solution? If so, please post it in the forum to help not only myself but all the rest of those trying to officiate in Washington DC.

Thanks-

Andy

Perhaps you could explain the problem a bit further. Maybe those of us outside of DC could assist you with ideas.

Ha! Ha! Are you seriously looking for a solution from DC? That's almost an oxymoron, with the emphasis on moron. DC is there to baffle the masses, not to enlighten us. Good Luck! And I sincerely mean that.....God's Peace........To`na Wanagi
