Change from 90-day Expiration to 120 Days for Temple Ordinance Reservations

The time line for 90-day ordinance reservations has been extended to 120 days. Although reservation expirations are still on hold while some temples are under reduced operation, this change can be seen now on the temple page on FamilySearch.org in the calculated expiration date. When expiration dates are operating normally again, any reservation that is (or was) retrieved from the temple reservation list will expire 120 days after it was reserved.

When temple ordinance reservations begin to expire again, a message will appear on the temple page of FamilySearch.org to indicate expiration dates are active, and email messages will be sent to any temple patrons with reservations that might be affected. Consideration will be given for any reservations that are near their expiration date.
