However, Google Maps reveals that the address isn't the church office building, but rather a nondescript auxiliary building a block or two away. Maybe this is just paranoia on my part, but before I tell all of the clerks in my stake to send surplus funds to that address from a comment that I can't authenticate, I want to verify that the address is correct and corresponds to a building owned by the church. Can anybody help me out here? Just want to be careful we're sending money to somewhere trustworthy. Thanks!Finance and Records

On the "'Other' Category" page on Record Keeping and Technology Support, the third comment on the page gives an address to which surplus "Other" category funds can be mailed:

Good question. I hadn't noticed that before.joshhansen wrote:On the "'Other' Category" page on Record Keeping and Technology Support, the third comment on the page gives an address to which surplus "Other" category funds can be mailed:

The old wiki article gave this address:
Church Finance Dept.
50 E North Temple St.
SLC UT 84150
It's possible that the church owns that nearby building and has certain operations there but I'm not sure we can take that comment on the RKATS as authoritative. It would probably be worth a call to LUS. If the address is wrong then they need to remove that comment and hopefully add the correct information in the article.

RKATS is supposed to be official. And the Church does own buildings in that area.joshhansen wrote:On the "'Other' Category" page on Record Keeping and Technology Support, the third comment on the page gives an address to which surplus "Other" category funds can be mailed:

If you really are concerned, you will always be safe with the 50 E North Temple St address. It may take an extra day to get wherever, but it will get there. If you do this, be sure to change the ZIP code.

I think the concern is that it's in the comments area. While it is moderated, we don't know if it was verified before being approved.lajackson wrote:RKATS is supposed to be official.
I think that would be worthy of a follow-up comment on that page - to move the address into the article where it would be authoritive.

120 North 200 West is the Church's West Office Building (WOB).
You can see a glimpse of the church logo above the entrance to the building if you move down the street a bit:
