Can I reserve an ordinance that has been shared with the temple?

Reserving an ordinance that has been shared with the temple does not require any special steps. View the person's ordinance information as you normally would on either the FamilySearch website or the Family Tree app. If a particular ordinance displays a green temple icon with a clock, it can be requested. If the ordinance has a blue temple icon, it cannot be requested.

Notes:

• The person sharing the name with the temple must be related. The person doing the ordinance does not.
• If you reserve an ordinance that has been shared with the temple, that ordinance cannot be reshared with a family group or another individual. You will see this message if you attempt to reshare it: "not able to share again."
• If you want to share the ordinances with a family group, unshare the ordinance with the temple, and then reshare it with the family group.

Icon	Meaning
	The ordinance has been shared with the temple and can be requested. If you reserve one of these ordinances, your reservation expires in 120 days. If you are unable to complete the ordinance within 120 days, the ordinance returns to the temple.
	If the ordinance cannot be requested, Family Tree shows a blue temple icon. Here are some reasons why you are not able to reserve the ordinance: The temple has already printed the name card. Someone else already reserved the ordinance after it was shared. Ordinances that come before, such as baptism and confirmation, have not yet been completed.
