See the Church Handbook of Instructions, p. 145, which states the policy simply and clearly.

Of course, a member can reside within the boundaries of multiple wards (a regular ward, a YSA ward, a Spanish ward, etc.) and the First Presidency approval is not required when the member's records would be in any of these assigned wards/branches.

I have been trying to find this in the new Church handbooks and have had no luck locating this policy. Can anyone show me where to find this in the latest handbooks?

Thank you!

You may wish to begin at Handbook 1, section 13.6, 2nd paragraph.

If you are trying to find the ward boundaries for a specific address, you can do that by doing the following:
  • Go to https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/
  • Log in using your LDS Account
  • After logging in, click on My Account and Ward and then choose Meetinghouse Locator
  • Click on the ward name displayed under Residential Wards for this Location or one of the other ward names listed

Anyone can find out the ward any address is assigned to by following the steps before this post (even without logging in). One does not have to have an LDS Account to see what ward their address is in.
