If your reserved family names are about to expire, you can take steps to ensure that the work is completed.
Review your family names list (temple list)
Your family names list contains both the date when you reserved the ordinances and the date when the reservation expires. You can sort the list by either date.
Determine which ordinances you can complete.
Unreserve ordinances
Other family members can then reserve the names. Ordinances Ready helps patrons find family names to take to the temple.
In unusual circumstances, you can unreserve the ordinance and then reserve it again. Before you unreserve, make a note of the Tree ID.
Share with family or friends
Consider sharing the ordinances with family members or friends.
Share with the temple
You can share the ordinances with the temple. Members all over the world regularly attend the temple and need proxy names.
Do nothing
A final option is to do nothing. When the ordinance expires, the system share it with the temple.
