About this template

Keep a complete baptism record, godparent names included, with this certificate template in warm cream and gold. Gold filigree corners and two soft cross accents frame labelled lines for the date of baptism, the godparents, and the officiating minister. Edit each line, then issue and share the record with Wauld.

Key Features:

Gold Filigree Corners: Delicate golden scrollwork decorates all four corners.
Dedicated Godparent Line: A labelled field records the godparents or sponsors by name.
Soft Cross Accents: Two faint crosses sit either side of the recipient's name.
Warm Cream Background: A soft cream tone gives the record a formal, lasting feel.

Suggested wording and verses: The template certifies that the named person was baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit at your church, with the godparents recorded alongside. Keep that line or add a verse such as Proverbs 22:6, Matthew 28:19, or Acts 2:38.

Fields included: Recipient name, date of baptism, godparents or sponsors, officiating minister, church or chapel, certificate ID, a signature line, and a QR code that links to a verified record.

Who it's for: Churches keeping a baptism register that records every godparent, and families who want those names preserved on a keepsake to frame or file. The wording suits an infant christening or an adult baptism across most Christian denominations.

Printing notes: Sized for A4 or US Letter landscape and exported as a print-ready PDF, so it prints crisply for the register or framing, or shares online with its QR code intact.
