Re: Updating LDS Account Information
Kia Orana,
For some time now, I have been trying to have my name changed - about 5 months ago I had it legally changed. I followed up with my branch clerk who, in the presence of myself and our branch president, made the change. As far as our branch records were concerned (based on LDS tools desktop app, the branch directory viewed through LDS.org, and MLS) my name had been changed. However, when checking my account settings on LDS.org or through FamilySearch, it is my old name which is displayed. Furthermore, when confirming my temple marriage booking with the Hamilton New Zealand temple over the phone just this week, which is to take place in April, they also noted that my MRN still displays my old name.
Last week, my branch clerk sent an email via MLS to highlight this fact to SL. This evening, we received a confirmation email saying that they had updated the record. However, upon checking my LDS.org account settings, no change seems to have been made. I am wondering if perhaps it might just be a delay and that the update needs time to become effective.
Is there anything else that can be done? I am also wondering if, despite a legal name change, our records will only show our birth names?
Any help appreciated,
Mouria.

Re: Updating LDS Account Information
I suggest you allow at least 24 hours for the changes to populate through the different church systems. If, after that time, it has still not changed, I would ask the branch clerk to contact church headquarters again and explain what was done and what has not been changed.

Re: Updating LDS Account Information
I can update "Display Name" and "Username", but not "First Name" nor "Last Name". And the "Last Name" doesn't match my church records.sbradshaw wrote:You can update your LDS Account display name here:

Re: Updating LDS Account Information
I was sent an e-mail to update my lds account password. I was able to update my computer but all my other devices won't allow me access to anything to do with my lds account. Is there a number I could call to get help just walking through how to update my new password on those devices. It just reads "invalid" or" error" or "too many redirects." Please send me phone number to talk to a real person. Thank you.

Re: Updating LDS Account Information
We accidently entered our tithing incorrectly which means our missionary housing was not covered for the month. Is there a way to redo that donation? This is a predicament for us right now. Is there anyone that can help us with this?
