I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but I am trying to record the baptism of a wonderful person who was recently rebaptized into our Ward. What is the standard process? This person does not know their member number and I cannot locate their record in the system. All I have at the moment is a completed and signed Baptism and Confirmation form.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

The clerk and bishop (or stake president depending on the situation) needs to submit the report on the disciplinary council where they were readmitted. This is done in LCR. As part of that report it will ask for the baptism information. Once it has been submitted (and approved by the Stake President as well) CHQ will recreate the persons record and appropriately record the baptism date and then send it to your unit.

Note that on the Ward Clerk (not assistant clerks) or bishop and write up the report.

In other words, the form needs to go to the ward or stake that held the council and authorized the baptism. The information goes in with the council minutes as they are submitted.
