A helper number is an identification number that allows someone to use FamilySearch.org on behalf of someone else.

People who already have an account on FamilySearch.org can see or edit their helper number in settings.

Note: Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have a default helper access number, which is the last 5 characters of their membership record number. You can use this default number to help Church members who do not have LDS Accounts.
