Sometimes I have a temple recommend to activate, but some of the picture the members of stake presidency send me don't show the names. How Can I locate a member by his or her registration number? I tried creating a custom report, but it doesn't give you the RN.

The membership record number (MRN) is only viewable from within the member record. The MRN is not a searchable record field at the unit or stake level.

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

Are you talking about the MRN or the Temple Recommend number? There's nothing to connect the member to the TR number until you activate it.

I'd push back to the stake presidency. No names, no activations.
Have you searched the Help Center? Try doing a Google search and adding "site:churchofjesuschrist.org/help" to the search criteria.

A trick for MRN lookup is to try moving the record into your unit in LCR. Since it sounds like you're a stake clerk, I don't know if you have that option. I don't remember if you also need the birth date or not.

You can also type the MRN person lookup box
