I was a bit off on the timing. From the
Release Notes it suggests that it will be rolled out on the 15th - this week. Certainly not a good idea to plan on the export being available.

If every death, marriage, divorce and any other name change requires the bishop to see the legal document that made it happen then the 3/4 of the ward that is inactive will have their records complete behind the times.
I'm unaware of a
requirement to see the legal document. Handbook 1: 13.6.22 says "if" and "may". My personal interpretation is that as long as the bishop is satisfied that it's legitimate, then it can be done. But if he's suspicious, he's within church protocol to ask for legal documentation.
