Post by anneliraud »

Hi,

I changed my name about 18 months ago but i have been unable to change the LDS.org and Family Search names. How do I proceed?
Many thanks,

Hi, the name you see for yourself on LDS.org and on FamilySearch comes from your membership record. Your ward clerk will need to change that. If it's a legal name change, the clerk can edit the full name on your membership record to match your new legal name. If it's just a change in preferred name, your clerk can edit the preferred name field.

If you're wanting to change your login name, I think you can do that by going to ldsaccount.lds.org, and changing the "username".
