When the Sponsor (Godparent) goes to the priest of his/her parish, he asks for a Sponsor Certificate. That piece of paper is the official letter of the Parish, claiming that the Sponsor candidate is a person of good standing in the said Parish.
Godparents must have a Godparent Eligibility Form (attached) signed by their pastor indicating that they are registered parishioners, practicing Catholics and are qualified to serve as a godparent.
Can You Make Someone a Godparent Without a christening? Absolutely. While a Naming Ceremony is secular in its origin, it is entirely the personal choice of the parents as to whether any religious content, from any faith, is included at any point.
