When a bishop is ordained or set apart, he received a certificate from the Office of the First Presidency, usually fairly quickly after he becomes bishop.bethington wrote:How do Bishop's prove who they are? My Bishop needs credentials to visit a member in prison.
In the meantime, some local officials will be willing to accept an Elder or High Priest ordination certificate. If more than that is needed, sometimes a letter from the stake president will assist. It all depends on what the local prison authorities and local law require.
