Permission to perform ordinances

[richardmt]

Question - Is there a specific form for members who are performing ordinances outside of their stake boundaries? Thank you.

Yes. It's called "Recommend to Perform and Ordinance" and you can find a link to it in this post.

I have requested for permission to do ordinances. How do I find the status of my request ?

Interestingly, a search in the current Handbook only shows the following:
1) GHB 18.6.1, which is specific to the blessing of children. This states that either a temple recommend or a "Recommend to Perform an Ordinance" may be used
2) GHB 31.2.2, which covers who can interview a member in order to give him a "Recommend to Perform an Ordinance" (if the member does not have a temple recommend)
I would have expected more instruction for the presiding authority (aka Bishop) where the ordinance is being performed, but couldn't find it.

I assume you mean you asked your Bishop (or his Clerk) for permission, as they are the only ones who can print it out (and the Bishop needs to sign it). Since you need to get a physical copy from them, I'd suggest contacting them directly. That said, if you have a current temple recommend, the permission form appears to be unnecessary.
