Letter Returned Without Processing: Sometimes the LDS Membership Records will return your letter to you without processing. They will claim that you need to contact your local Bishop or Stake President in order to resign. This is completely untrue. You do not have to contact anyone other than LDS Membership Records to resign. Legally you can resign by handing your resignation letter to any LDS Church Representative, meaning Stake President, Bishop or General Authority. If the LDS Membership Records returns your letter to you, you now have proof that they received your original resignation letter. This is your proof that you are no longer a member of the LDS Church. Never throw away any letter received as it is your legal proof of resignation. If your letter is returned, make a photo-copy of your original letter and the returned letter stating you must contact your Bishop or Stake President, and mail them back again. Mail all letters to: Member Records Division, LDS Church
