If you are trying to create a new Church Account or adding an MRN to an existing Church Account, you may get a message that says "Either the MRN and/or birthdate is not valid or the account already exists." If you have verified that your MRN and birth date are correct, the problem is almost always that there is an existing Church Account associated with your membership record number. Only one Church Account can be associated with a membership record number.

If your email address or mobile phone number is associated with your account, you can go to https://account.churchofjesuschrist.org ... e=username to attempt to recover your account.

If you cannot recover your account using the email address or mobile phone number, you will need to contact your ward or branch clerk and ask them for information on how to contact the Global Services Department. You will then need to contact the GSD for assistance in recovering the account.

Contact your ward or branch clerk and ask them for information on how to contact the Global Services Department. You will then need to contact the GSD for assistance in combining the accounts. If the clerk needs information on contacting the GSD, he can go to https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/help/support/record-keeping/membership/contact-information.
