Sealing cancellation/clearance process
Posted: Tue Jun 02, 2020 5:42 pm
I would like to make a suggestion. The sealing cancellation process should be more transparent than it is. It would be so much easier for all parties involved if there was a transparent tracking system of the status of these applications. That way, when it gets held up in one place for too long, as is inevitable from my experience, the applicant would know and can go to the correct person and get things moving. They would also know when it’s complete and approved.
Also, I don’t understand why the applicant can’t call church headquarters directly to see if that application has been approved or not. It has to be a bishop or stake president who calls to headquarters to get that information. That is a problem because they often become quite busy and it falls off their radar. They sometimes don’t prioritize it properly, leaving a stressing bride/groom to stress even more. The applicant is trying to plan and move forward with their life. Please please please create a better system for this!
