Once you print a name from Family Search to take to the temple how long do you have to do the work?
A gentlemen in my ward printed some names before Covid hit, maybe even three years ago. He is wondering how long he has to take them to the temple? He has printed cards but is afraid that the names may have been sent back to the temple for patrons to do. How long does he have to complete the work?

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Just in passing ...
Short Answer: That depends ...
Firstly ...
You NEED to advise, the Brother in your Ward, that ...
He NEEDS to do, his 'due diligence'; and, "Check", the 'Status' of the "Temple" Work, for individuals/persons, for whom he has PREVIOUSLY "Printed" the "Temple" Cards; as, a matter of course; BEFORE, proceeding to the "Temple", with a "Temple" Card, that was printed some time ago.
And, that is NOT ONLY for "Temple" Cards, that were printed, some time ago ...
That ALSO applies, to "Temple" Cards, that were printed, just DAYS ago ...
Apart from the fact, that the "Reservation", MAY have EXPIRED ...
OTHER User/Patrons, MAY have ALSO previously printed the SAME "Temple" Card; and, undertaken the Work.
Secondly ...
"Reservations" DO "Expire".
But, even if the "Reservation" HAS "Expired", a "Temple" Card, that is printed, CAN "Still" be used.
ie. AFTER the "Reservation" HAS "Expired".
Thirdly ...
Soon after, the Worldwide, "COVID-19" Pandemic, too hold ...
And, "Temples", were NOT able to function, under NORMAL "Operations" ...
[ ie. Subject to "Restrictions" ... ]
"Reservations", BEGAN; being, AUTOMATICALLY "Extended", due to the Worldwide, "COVID-19" Pandemic.
"Reservations", will STOP; being, AUTOMATICALLY "Extended"; when, ALL, "Temples" around the World, ARE operating, under "Phase 4", NORMAL operations, with NO "Restrictions".
I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.
