New Bishopric
I am a stake clerk and we just re-organized a Bishopric this afternoon. I do not recall if there is a form or paperwork I need to complete and send to church HQs indicating that we completed the changes today and provide the names of the counselors, etc...
We completed the procedure for gaining approval from the First Presidency...I just do not recall or can find a form on MLS that may deal with notifying Church HQs that the change is complete.
appreciate any insight.
thanks.

On the stake MLS there is a Leader and Unit Change Request option that will let you submit the Bishop's change.
The councilors are just entered into the Ward MLS, which will send them up to CDOL

we reorganized another bishopric yesterday, I made the changes via the leader and unit change request to show the new Bishop, I did a send/receive.
Question: Is there anything else I need to do to properly notify Church HQs that th new Bishop is now in action? What needs to be done so he receives the certificate from the First Presidency?
thank you

Nope. As long as you did it from the Stake MLS computer, you have done all you need to do. CDOL will be updated, the new bishop will receive his certificate, and he will have access to all of the sites he needs to access, as long as he has an LDSAccount.
Personally, though, I would check CDOL on the 2nd day to make sure it actually updated.

In this case it looks like you did it correct. It is waiting for review at CHQ. I'm not sure why it hasn't gotten past that, but I can see that the change is there.colbyj wrote:just checked CDOL and it has not updated. perhaps I did something incorrect. I do remember doing a send/receive after inputting the data. I'll double check.
