I printed a temple card and my address shows up incorrectly

Where can one go to change the address on file that shows up for the person who printed a temple card? My address in the church system is current and up to date as of 6 years ago and hasn't changed since then, but Family search prints an old address from 6 years ago when I print a temple card. It shows my name and an outdated address. The profile options do not show any ability to change it.

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    [ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]

    Just in passing ...

    Two (x2) things ...

    [ 1 ]

    IF, you are REALLY concerned, about your address, on the "Temple" Card; THEN,

    Firstly ...

    You can "Change" your Address, by going to your "Settings", in your 'FamilySearch' Account; and, on the "Account" 'Tab', under "Personal Information" Section, SIMPLY "Change" your "Mailing Address"; and, "Save".

    Secondly ...

    "Reprint" the "Temple" Cards.

    But ...

    That Said ...

    [ 2 ]

    Personally; as, the "Temple" Cards, are NO LONGER "Returned" ...

    I would NOT, worry; or, bother, to do so ...

    BECAUSE ...

    ▬ The "Temple" Cards, are INITIALLY "Processed"

    .... (ie. The specific "Ordinance" Worked, IS "Recorded"; as, being "Completed".)

    ▬ The "Temple" Cards, undergo SECONDARY "Processing"

    .... (ie. Checking, that the specific "Ordinance" Worked, HAS been "Recorded".)

    ▬ The "Temple" Cards, are then DESTROYED.

    Hence, WHY, I suggest, that personally, I would NOT, worry; or, bother, to do so ...

    [ And, of course, NOT waste VALUABLE "Resources" (ie. "Paper", and, Ink/Tonner); NOR, "Money" ... ]

    Just my thoughts.

    Brett

    ps: Just in case, you were not aware ... "Temple" Cards, CAN be "Printed", WITHOUT, a Name &/or Address ...

    .

    Thanks for taking a few minutes to respond.

    The short answer was to go back to familysearch.org, not community.familysearch.org because they aren't available here and then click on my name -> settings, then click on the "account" word just below the menu tabs, then the edit button by the section that needs to be changed.

    The part that threw me originally was the available settings didn't include an address or phone number and the account portion of the settings wasn't showing up. Whether I should or should not change it wasn't really the question. I found it with your help, so thanks for that tidbit.
