Baptism and Confirmation Record for Readmission Form lds.org

[pkcemail]

I have been approached by a former member who had his name removed from the rercords about 4 years ago, and he want's to come back into the church. I need to request a Report of Administrative Action form from the First Presidency, and don't know how. Thr "Readmission after Name Removal" section of LCR requires a membership record number, which I don't have. I only have his name, unit when he left the church and approximate timeframe when it happened.
How can I get the Report of Administrative Action form?
Thanks!

I'd suggest calling CHQ, local unit support. I'm sure they could look it up or at least point you the right way.

You didn't mention your calling. You probably need to be the bishop in order to call and get that information. Maybe if you're the ward clerk you could get somewhere.

Is there a way to use full name and date of birth? That usually works if the former MRN is not available.

Or the phone call. Make sure you are working at the request of the bishop. If you are the clerk, you should be able to call on behalf of the bishop and ask them to send the Report to the bishop.

Yes, I am the Bishop. Sorry I did not mention that earlier. I certainly can get full name and DOB.
Who should I call with this information to have the report sent to me? Thanks!

Who should I call

Local Unit Support. They may transfer you to Confidential Records.

The "Readmission after Name Removal" section of LCR requires a membership record number, which I don't have.

Go to Request Council Minutes or Name Removal Documents from Headquarters:
https://www.lds.org/mls/mbr/ca/request-documents
Enter Name of Individual.
Enter Birth date.
Note: Membership Record Number is not required if birth date is supplied.

Question: I am a Bishop, and a brother who requested name removal 5 years ago is going to be rebaptized and confirmed this week (all per Handbook 1). He was a non-endowed Elder at the time he requested his name removal. From reading Handbook 1 it is my understanding that no Ordination of Restoration of Blessings is required in this case since he was never endowed, and that he will be an Elder immediately following confirmation. Could someone confirm that that is correct? Thanks!

From reading Handbook 1 it is my understanding that no Ordination of Restoration of Blessings is required in this case since he was never endowed,

While I agree that 6.15 only applies to those who were endowed, it seems silent on the procedure for non-endowed Elders. Unless someone can find something more authoritative, I'd consult with the stake president. If he has questions, he can consult with his "up line".

This is mostly a community forum, so interpretations would be non-authoritative.

Edit: After reading 6.13.3, "After Readmission", second paragraph, I think you are correct. You may find additional details as you proceed though the process.

He was a non-endowed Elder at the time . . .
. . . he will be an Elder immediately following confirmation.

As soon as he is ordained. After he is baptized and confirmed, he should have the Melchizedek Priesthood conferred upon him and he should be ordained an elder.

See Handbook 1:6.12.12, 4th paragraph, Ordination after Readmission, 2nd sentence.
