Mormon Resignation A Guide To Resignation/Name Removal From the Mormon Church The Thirty Day Waiting Period. The Mormon Church requires by its own handbook that anyone that requests Name Removal must wait 30 days. This occurs after the Bishop has received your resignation letter, has filled out the proper paperwork, and passed that paperwork onto the Stake President. The rule of thumb if all goes well is 45 total days. This is the total time for your letter to reach and be processed by Mormon Church Membership Records, for that request to be forwarded to the local Bishop, for that paperwork to be completed and forwarded to the Stake President, and for that paperwork to then be sent back to Membership Records, and last but not least, a final termination letter sent to you stating your name has been removed. Be patient, but be strong and persevere. If you have not heard anything back from Membership Records in two (2) weeks, again send your resignation letter.
