How to Schedule an Appointment at the Ogden Utah Temple

Book your Ogden Temple appointment through the Church's official scheduling system

The Ogden Utah Temple uses the same online scheduling system as other LDS temples. You access it through the Church's main website or the official mobile app — there is no separate Ogden-only portal. You will need a Church account (your member record username and password) to log in and see available time slots.

The system shows you open appointments for the coming weeks and lets you choose the date, time, and type of session you want. Once you select a slot and confirm, you receive a confirmation number by email. That confirmation is what you bring to the temple on the day of your appointment.

If you do not have a Church account yet, you can create one on the main LDS website before you try to book. The account setup takes a few minutes and requires your member record information.

Key Takeaways

• You book Ogden Temple appointments through the official Church scheduling system using your member account login, not through a separate Ogden website.
• The system shows you real-time availability for the next several weeks, and you pick the date and time that works for you.
• You receive a confirmation number by email after you book, and you bring that number or your confirmation to the temple.
• If the time slots you want are full, you can check back later — the system updates as cancellations come in.

What you need before you book

Have your Church member record information ready. This includes your member number (found on your temple recommend or membership record) and your login credentials. If you have not logged into your Church account in a while, you may need to reset your password first.

You also need to know what type of session you want to attend — endowment, sealing, initiatories, or proxy work. The scheduling system asks you to choose, and different sessions have different availability. If you are unsure which session is right for your situation, contact the temple directly before you book.

How to find and book your slot

Log into your Church account on the official LDS website or open the mobile app. Look for the temple scheduling or appointments section — the exact wording varies depending on which device or platform you use, but it is clearly labeled in the main menu.

Select the Ogden Utah Temple from the list of temples. The system will show you available dates and times for the next two to four weeks. Scroll through to find a slot that works for your schedule, then click to select it. You will be asked to confirm your choice and may be prompted to enter any additional information the temple needs.

After you confirm, the system generates a confirmation number and sends it to the email address on your Church account. Save this email or write down the confirmation number — you will need it when you arrive at the temple.

What to do if your preferred time is not available

The Ogden Temple schedules appointments in blocks, and popular times — early morning, weekends, and evenings — fill up first. If you see no openings for the date you want, check back in a few days. The system updates as people cancel, and new slots often open up.

You can also try booking for a different day of the week or a different time of day. Weekday afternoons and mid-morning slots tend to have more availability than peak times. If you need to attend on a specific date for a particular reason, call the Ogden Temple directly and ask whether they have a waitlist or can note your preference.

What to bring and what to expect on the day

Bring your confirmation number or the confirmation email on your phone or printed out. You will also need your current temple recommend. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your scheduled time so you can check in at the front desk.

The staff will verify your appointment using your confirmation number and recommend. They will direct you to the appropriate area for your session type. If you are a first-time visitor to this temple, let the staff know — they can point you to the lockers, explain the layout, and answer questions about where to go.

Cancelling or rescheduling your appointment

If you need to cancel or change your time, log back into the scheduling system using your Church account. Find your upcoming appointment in your calendar or reservation list and select the option to cancel or modify it. The system will free up that slot for other members to book.

If you cannot access the system to cancel, call the Ogden Temple directly. Cancelling through the system is faster, but the temple staff can also remove your reservation if you call. Try to cancel at least a few hours before your appointment so the slot can be offered to someone else.

Troubleshooting common booking problems

If you cannot see the Ogden Temple in the list of available temples, check that you are logged into your Church account. Some older accounts or accounts with incomplete information may have restricted access. Update your profile information and try again.

If you get an error message when you try to confirm your booking, clear your browser cache and try a different browser or device. Sometimes the mobile app works better than the website, or vice versa. If the problem persists, contact Church support through the main website or call the Ogden Temple directly and ask them to book the appointment for you over the phone.

If your confirmation email does not arrive, check your spam folder. If it is not there, log back into your account and look for your reservation in your calendar. The confirmation number is also visible in the system even if the email did not come through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book an appointment for someone else?

No. Each person must book their own appointment using their own Church account and member record. If someone else tries to book for you, the system will not accept it. You can help them through the process, but they have to be the one to log in and confirm.

How far in advance can I book?

The scheduling system typically shows availability for the next two to four weeks. You cannot book months ahead. Check back periodically to book further out as new dates become available in the system.

What if I do not have a current temple recommend?

You cannot schedule an appointment without a valid recommend. Contact your bishop or stake president to renew or obtain one before you try to book. The temple staff will ask to see your recommend when you arrive.

Can I walk in without an appointment?

The Ogden Temple operates by appointment only. Walk-ins are not accepted. You must schedule through the system in advance. If you arrive without an appointment, the staff will ask you to book one and return at your scheduled time.

What if I need to reschedule but cannot log into my account?

Call the Ogden Temple directly and provide your name and confirmation number. The staff can look up your reservation and reschedule you over the phone. This is faster than trying to troubleshoot your account access online.
