I just received our ward's order of the Emblem of Achievement crystals. Everything I've read says I should be able to print a certificate from LCR that accompanies the emblems. I'm having trouble finding where in LCR I can print the certificate. Any hints?

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/you ... th-emblems

During the year a young man or young woman turns 18, he or she (with parents, if desired) will have the opportunity to meet with the bishop to discuss his or her progress. In this setting, the bishop will present a certificate from the First Presidency, as well as the Children and Youth crystal. He gives these emblems of achievement to youth who are trying to become more like the Savior by striving to:
  • Study the scriptures and pray daily.
    Be worthy of a limited-use temple recommend.
    Participate in Sabbath meetings, quorum or class work, and seminary.
    Work on goals in each area of growth.
    Serve others in a personally significant way, which could include a service project.
New converts, those who have not been actively participating in Children and Youth or the Church, and those who are not members of the Church may also receive the emblems of achievement the year they turn 18 if, at the time of their interview, they are actively working to develop these patterns of discipleship.

Has this changed? I can't find that option. I can only find Aaronic Priesthood certificates.

It is still there. If you can only see the three Aaronic Priesthood certificate options then you may be restricted by your calling. As a ward clerk I can see a list of eight certificates including the Youth Certificate.

Have you tried finding your answer on the ChurchofJesusChrist.org Help Center or Tech Wiki?

As a ward clerk I count 9 certificates. :D

Primary Advancement Certificate unavailable for 11 year olds

Have you noticed that the Primary Advancement certificate is only available when the youth turns 12?
This means, for youth who turn 12 next year and also advance classes at the first of the year, we are not able to use the online method In Leader and Clerk Resources:
Reports > Certificates > Print Certificates to print the certificate.

Hmmm, I just tried for two children turning 12 next year (one of whom is still 10, b-day in Dec), and it works for me.

I am having this exact same problem. I was able to do this in past years, but this year I cannot print out a primary advancement certificate for anyone who is not currently 12 or older. The primary president would like to hand these out at the start of the year when the youth actually advance, but I don't see how it will be possible with the current LCR.

Did anyone ever find a solution for this? I'm looking at making certificates in page layout software and printing them since LCR will likely not allow it.
