According to Bini it is possible to write directly to the headquarters. But the headquarter is a giant building, and I want to address my mail to the right department. Do you know how it is called? Office of records? I am not able to find this department on my own. I know my last stake and ward and the bishop's name when I last attended the church 8 years ago. I also know the date that I was baptized. I never got the temple confirmation. Will it be enough info to track my record? For the past 8 years I have been living in my home country which is a half way across the globe. My long time ago friends are now bishops at my local stakes, so I don't want to go to them.

Thanks for the help. Jane-Doe suggested that I have two options either write to local bishop or to Salt Lake. If I write directly to Salt Lake, where do I address it to. I am not really familiar with the church's organizational structure. I know that the main headquarter is in Salt Lake and that's basically all I know. I suppose there is a office of records of members, but how is that department named?

I was converted to LDS church member eleven years ago when I was 25. Now I am 36. It was difficult to get accustomed to the LDS community notwithstanding the difficulties of living in a new country as an Asian. After attending the church for 3 years in UT and ID, I moved to another state and dropped my attendance in church. Then I had to return back to my home country and since have been living with my parents for 7 years. My country is predominantly Buddhist and I find it difficult to live by LDS standards. Although I have been inactive for over 8 years, I have been thinking of officially resigning from the LDS church. I think this way is better off because sometimes I feel guilty that I left the church without notifying. Can anyone tell me if the LDS church standards require an official resignation when someone leaves the church? Or is being inactive enough evidence that I cancelled my covenant? I have heard that some other religions do require such official resignation. I appreciate your help.
