New baptismal certificate

Post by brofisher »

I am a stake clerk and I have had a member ask me to get them a copy of their baptismal certificate.

I have looked through LCR and unable to get a copy.

Needing help


Thanks

First, baptismal certificates are handled at the ward level so it will require a ward clerk, ward membership clerk or bishop to print a certificate. And any certificate that is printed will have to be signed by the current bishop and will have the name of the current bishop. There is no way of printing a duplicate of the original certificate if the member is in a different ward or if the bishop has changed since they were baptized. Also, depending on when the baptism occurred the church may not have a record of who performed the baptism. In that case, the certificate won't show any information about who performed it.

Speak with your ward clerk to get your baptism certificate.
