Ask your ward clerk or membership clerk for a copy of your Individual Ordinance Summary.

If you're just looking for the dates, then the Individual Ordinance Summary from the clerk will do the job.

If you're looking for a copy of the certificate, that gets messy. The church never kept a copy of that long-term. The clerk can probably create a new one, but it wouldn't have the signatures of the leadership at the time of the baptism.
