Baptism and Confirmation Record for Readmission Form lds.org

Where do I find Baptism and Confirmation Record for Readmission Form on lds.org

I'd think that would be part of the packet that the stake president got when he received the paperwork to hold the council for readmission. In other words, that's not the starting point but near the end of a paperwork procedure.

I think you use the regular Baptism and Confirmation form in MLS. There are three options at the top. The third one should apply. Then I believe you record the ordinance information online in the forms the stake returns to the First Presidency.

In MLS where the form was that I need for a Baptism and Confirmation Record for Readmission, now takes you directly to lds.org/LCR. But once I am at LCR, I can't find the Baptism and Confirmation Record for Readmission Form. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If you are the clerk or the bishop, call your stake clerk. If you are not, you will not be able to see it. I would expect it to be under Reports > Forms with the Application to the First Presidency, but I do not have a calling currently that allows me to check.

Sorry I didn't day sooner, but I am a Stake Clerk. If someone that can look on LCR and please respond to check my question with a reply, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

As a Ward Clerk, the closest I can come to in LCR for your request, is under Membership> Confidential > Readmission after Name Removal. This asks for the MRN of the individual, from that point on, I think it guides you for the necessary information.

Pure speculation on my part, but It might be that as a Stake Clerk you can't see that particular function. Please inform us either way, if you can see that option

According to this thread the baptism and confirmation information is entered as part of the entire process of reporting the reconvened disciplinary council using the 'Record a Reconvened Council' menu option. If that's the case, there may not be a separate menu option for just the baptism form.

I finally called SLC and the procedure is to just fill out the online form in LCR under the Record a Reconvened Council, which has a place to record the baptism and confirmation information along with other information about the council. You do not use the separate baptism form any more. Thanks for all your help here!!!

Thank you for reporting back, so that those who have not done this in a while will know the current process. I assume previous priesthood information, if applicable, is also recorded the same way now.

And thanks for being patient with us as we guessed based on past experience. One of the perks of being the stake clerk is that you are able to call when needed to obtain correct information.

I have been approached by a former member who had his name removed from the rercords about 4 years ago, and he want's to come back into the church. I need to request a Report of Administrative Action form from the First Presidency, and don't know how. Thr "Readmission after Name Removal" section of LCR requires a membership record number, which I don't have. I only have his name, unit when he left the church and approximate timeframe when it happened.
How can I get the Report of Administrative Action form?
Thanks!

I'd suggest calling CHQ, local unit support. I'm sure they could look it up or at least point you the right way.

You didn't mention your calling. You probably need to be the bishop in order to call and get that information. Maybe if you're the ward clerk you could get somewhere.

Is there a way to use full name and date of birth? That usually works if the former MRN is not available.

Or the phone call. Make sure you are working at the request of the bishop. If you are the clerk, you should be able to call on behalf of the bishop and ask them to send the Report to the bishop.

Yes, I am the Bishop. Sorry I did not mention that earlier. I certainly can get full name and DOB.
Who should I call with this information to have the report sent to me? Thanks!

Local Unit Support. They may transfer you to Confidential Records.

Go to Request Council Minutes or Name Removal Documents from Headquarters:
https://www.lds.org/mls/mbr/ca/request-documents
Enter Name of Individual.
Enter Birth date.
Note: Membership Record Number is not required if birth date is supplied.

Question: I am a Bishop, and a brother who requested name removal 5 years ago is going to be rebaptized and confirmed this week (all per Handbook 1). He was a non-endowed Elder at the time he requested his name removal. From reading Handbook 1 it is my understanding that no Ordination of Restoration of Blessings is required in this case since he was never endowed, and that he will be an Elder immediately following confirmation. Could someone confirm that that is correct? Thanks!

pkcemail wrote:From reading Handbook 1 it is my understanding that no Ordination of Restoration of Blessings is required in this case since he was never endowed,

While I agree that 6.15 only applies to those who were endowed, it seems silent on the procedure for non-endowed Elders. Unless someone can find something more authoritative, I'd consult with the stake president. If he has questions, he can consult with his "up line".

This is mostly a community forum, so interpretations would be non-authoritative.

Edit: After reading 6.13.3, "After Readmission", second paragraph, I think you are correct. You may find additional details as you proceed though the process.

. . . he will be an Elder immediately following confirmation.

As soon as he is ordained. After he is baptized and confirmed, he should have the Melchizedek Priesthood conferred upon him and he should be ordained an elder.

See Handbook 1:6.12.12, 4th paragraph, Ordination after Readmission, 2nd sentence.

Seems pretty definitive.

It is. The First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles wrote it. [smile]

What I meant is no room for interpretation or guess work. <grin>

Oh, yes. This one is exceptionally clear.

Yes, but isn't 6.12.12 specific to brethren who were excommunicated? The brother in my ward had his name removed, and was not excommunicated.
Thanks for your help with this!

The very end of section 6.14.4 indicates that ordinations for readmission after name removal is handled the same as after excommunication.

I have a same problem... but i cannot find the name after given the membership record number. The member was already re baptized.
