Hello,

I was just wondering how I could change my last name on the Ward Directory. I was able to change it through my profile page but I do not see that it corrected it. It still states my maiden last name but when I click on Household and I scroll down to my current last name it is correct? It is only when I click on my name in the Relief Society link that it still shows my maiden last name. Do you know how I can fix this or does it take 24-48hrs for the change to show?

Thanks in advance!

You need to speak with the ward membership clerk.
Have you searched the Help Center? Try doing a Google search and adding "site:churchofjesuschrist.org/help" to the search criteria.

When you speak with your ward membership clerk, be sure ALL FOUR of the following entries in the Membership System (MLS) are correct:
1. Your current, full legal name.
2. Your maiden name (if applicable)
3. Your preferred name
4. The "Household Name" in your household record.
