  • The legal status of the Universal Life Church encompasses a collection of court decisions and state executive branch pronouncements determining what rights the Universal Life Church (ULC) and comparable organizations have as religious organizations. With respect to the validity of ordinations for the purposes of those ordained performing ceremonies with civic consequences such as marriages, individual U.S. states and other countries including the UK have made varying determinations, occasionally hinging their decisions on whether ordination was obtained in person or by some remote means, such as by mail, by phone, or over the internet. As of 2016, all those ordained by the ULC are able to perform marriages in the United States and the United Kingdom. The tax-exempt status of the organisation, and of ministries formed by people whom it has ordained, has also been raised as a legal issue. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) initially assumed a negative stance towards the ULC, and at times has sought to eliminate the organization's tax-exempt status under a number of theories, with varying results.
