The '''Membership Record Number''' ('''MRN''') is a unique identifier used primarily to link members of '''The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints''' to their individual membership and ordinance records stored centrally at Church Headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah and locally at the various ward, stake or branch offices where the member resides or has last been known to reside.

Membership Record Numbers may also be assigned to '''Children of Record''' (children born to members of the Church and who have received a blessing, but who have yet to baptized). In cases where an identifier such as the MRN is assigned to non-members, the number may be referred to as an '''Administrative Number'''. In such cases the identifier will appear on a member´s record, but will not itself refer to a separate membership record for the individual to whom it has been assigned.

===MRN Format===

Membership Record Numbers currently have the following format:
# 012-3456-7890

===History===

Originally, since the founding of the Church in 1830, most membership records were maintained in a decentralized manner with local wards in charge of registration and storage. However, in order to improve the quality of records kept and in accordance with received revelation, records would be kept both centrally and locally in order to ensure safe-keeping and accuracy of performed ordinances. Further standardization and improvements occured when the Membership Record Number was adopted on a Church-wide basis in ????.

Since then the MRN has become the primary reference number for individuals and their records in the Church and has since the 2000´s been used as an authentication instrument for various Church e-services and websites.
