    Sealings are performed in a temple and only those who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who hold a recommend for entering a temple can participate in the sealing ordinance. That means that living persons who are not members cannot participate in a sealing ordinance for themselves.

    .

    FYI

    .

    Provided that you are referring to a "Living" person ...

    .

    IF, you are a Member of the Church; THEN, you should ask your local Priesthood Leadership.

    ie. Bishop/Branch President; and/or, if necessary,

    ... Stake/District President

    ... "Temple" President

    .

    Whereas ...

    .

    IF, you are NOT a Member of the Church; THEN, ask your local, "Family History Centre" (if it has "Re-Opened"), who should be able put you in contact with the local Priesthood Leadership of the Church; or, if you see or know how to contact them, "Full Time" Missionaries or Mission Office of the Church; or, your nearest congregation of the Church.

    .

    By the way ...

    .

    This is NOT the sort of 'Question' that can or should be 'Answered', in "Detail", in a "Open" (ie. "Public") Forum.

    .

    .

    ps: For "Deceased" persons, gone 12 Months, unless "Permission Required", 'Yes'

    .

    Thank you, Brett. I certainly hope I didn't offend anyone with my question. I wasn't thinking about being an open forum, sorry.
