Moving a member into different Ward - outside boundaries

[brandontysonmoss]

We have a member in the geographic boundaries of our ward but due to a divorce of their spouse who also lives in the ward has been given special permission by both bishops and the stake to attend and be a member of a neighboring ward. I wanted to see if anyone knew how I could move this member's record to be a part of the other ward but still maintain their address as their current one so that people will be able to see and use the accurate address when looking it up in LDS tools..

Thanks in advance,

Hopefully, he has the permission of the First Presidency as well. (See Handbook 1: 13.6, second paragraph.)

That used to be easy, but with the updated LCR, it might not let you do that. Is there a way to override the provided list - perhaps by entering a unit number? Worst comes to worse, you can probably send the member to the other unit without an address, and that unit can update it. (To be nice, you should let them know ahead of time.)

A possible alternative is the boundary realignment tool. At least it used to allow you to select people to move to a new unit.

With everything moving to LCR, my information is quickly getting out of date.

If nothing else the new ward can request her records. They just need to make sure to only request the specific records that are moving and not the entire household.

I have information regarding the location of someone who use to be in our ward but moved out . How do I get that information to the right place?

If you know the member's address, you can use the LDS.org Maps tool to find the name of their ward. Then you can look up that ward on CDOL.LDS.org to get contact information for the clerk, who can request his records.
