Your ward clerk can give it to you, or you can go to the Meetinghouse Locator at maps.lds.org, search for the ward by name and then click on the entry for the correct result. The unit number is displayed immediately after the unit name in the information box. You will need to be signed in with your LDS Account to see the unit number.

Your family in that ward can also give it to you. They can see it in donations | settings

I have the same problem. I want to donate to my niece's mission. Her home ward is in Korea, the Kokbanjeung Ward, Unit Number is 212067. However, in donations, when I enter that unit number, it says "The ward or branch number you entered seems to be incorrect or the unit may be outside the country. Please re-enter the number." So is it not allowed to donate to a missionary whose home ward is out of the country? (She is serving her mission in California).

Not on-line anyway. The system doesn't support going between currencies.

I am the clerk in a Japan English ward and have two families that have missionaries who left from the United States and ran into this. In our members cases they have to contact the Church and essentially get permissions to make donations FROM a US bank account to the financially responsible ward in the US. Otherwise members are prevented from making donations online across international borders. So it may be possible, but you likely have to have an account in the same country to donate from.

I went to maps, etc. and got the box with the ward name but no unit number is displayed. I see a zipcode, bishops phone number and longitude and latidude for gps, no unit number. ????? I need the number for the south ogden 9th ward unit so a donation can be made.

I would suggest you contact your ward clerk. He has access to applications that can provide the information you require.

Re: Ward unit number

I want to help with a missionary in another ward. I got their ward unit number. I went to enter the information on the online donation slip, but I can’t mind the missionaries name who I want to help. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Is the ward in the same country as you? The system isn't designed to cross borders or currencies.
  • Is that the ward that will be financially responsible for the missionary? While the missionary may be leaving from a YSA student ward, the financial responsibility might be with the ward his/her parents are currently living.
  • How long ago did the missionary depart? The account may not have been set up yet.

After logging onto churchofjesuschrist.org then go to the Ward Directory and Map. The numbers just after churchofjesuschrist.org/ in the URL is your unit number.

Where are you looking for it?
Note your membership record number (MRN) must be recorded in your church account to be able to access the Ward Directory and Map or see the unit number.

You can use the Meetinghouse Locator to get the unit number. Once the unit is selected look at the end of the URL in the web browser for the unit number (... =ward:xxxxxx). Where xxxxxx is the number.

At one point in the past, I ran across a part of the Church's website that said that you couldn't access it if you weren't in a leadership position, but it still showed the Ward and Stake Unit Numbers for the units that the account's records were in. What is the URL to that site?

Only if you have access to LCR.

What's insteresting is if I try to access LCR, I get
Access to Leader and Clerk Resources (LCR) is limited to members with certain callings. For more information, click here.
But attempting to follow that link I get "Page Not Found" as I don't have access to clerk-resources-access-table.

Interesting – I'm a lowly Sunday School teacher, and as far as I know, I don't have any rights in Leader and Clerk Resources – but I can see the access table using the link above.

When I go to the Leader and Clerk Resources home page, I get the same Access Denied page as you, and the Page Not Found error in the Help Center when I click the link. :)

Interesting. That link works for me as well. Learn something new all the time. I was triggering on "everyone having access to LCR".

What's interesting is the "More information" link is https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/hel ... e?lang=eng
Which seems to be a different path to what would seem to be a very similar, if not a copy of, the same resource.

That is as it should be. A member should be only able to see their own unit number. The unit number for any members serving in your unit but from another unit is not available, including missionaries serving in your unit.

I have the same issue, I am logged in, but I still can't see the unit number.

In my view, the above ideas are really workarounds in the sense that their availability may or may not change over time, and the official method for finding a unit number is asking your ward clerk. He will have access to CDOL and can provide the unit number so you can make your donation.

To see another unit's number:
1. Log into ChurchofJesusChrist.org
2. Select 'Meetinghouse Locator' from the Tools menu (waffle icon or grid of 9 square dots icon)
3. Type in the unit name or an address in the search text box.
3. Select the unit name from the displayed list of unit names if there is more than one unit with the same name typed or associated with the address.
4. See the unit number in the URL address box of your browser. It is the numbers at the end of the URL (https://maps.churchofjesuschrist.org/wards/XXXXX...) after the last forward slash (/).

The URL solution worked for me. After I clicked on the correct meeting house and ward I looked at the URL and used the numbers at the end. That brought up the ward and I was able to find the missionary we were looking for. Thank you!

This is an end to end user support tech support forum. You can send a message to Bishops if you don't have their contact information by using the Meetinghouse Locator https://maps.churchofjesuschrist.org/.
Search for the relevant address, and then when you click the ward you can use the "Send message" link under the Bishop's name.

With the new updates to the website, there is another way to find your unit number. Simply head to maps.churchofjesuschrist.org and then find your ward/branch, whether on the map or by searching. After you have located your branch the id should show up in the link. It can be a five to six digit number. :D

Some of the early wards have less than 5 digits as well.

I want to donate to my grandson in a different ward and cannot find the unit number. How do I find another ward's number that is not in my Stake?

Please see this post upthread.

If your grandson is in the same country, that should be enough. I don't think there's an easy way to support a missionary who's home ward is in another country.

Did you try the suggestion in the post immediately before yours? Alternatively, if you go to the web-based church directory, the url link will also show your home ward unit number.

I have used the meetinghouse locator for years to find the unit number for family members. Just this month, it looks like they have changed the tool and we can no longer see the unit number in the URL. Does anyone know of another way to get the unit number or am I somehow doing it wrong and it is still there (I am logged in)?

Interesting.

If you go to the main church page and under "resources" click on "Meetinghouse Locator", you got to maps.churchofjesuschrist.org, which works as expected.

You may also end up there if you do a web search for "Meetinghouse Locator".

But if you do a web search for "Meetinghouse locator lds", you'll end up at www.churchofjesuschrist.org/welcome/find-a-church which is aimed at non-members and does not contain unit numbers.

Thank you for the help! Google had directed me to the non-member page not the maps page.
