The answer is no. Although their status may be changing, godparents still fulfill only religious or cultural roles, not legal ones.

How do I make my godmother official?

One way to do this is in a will. If both parents draw up wills, and name the godmother in the will as their preferred guardian, it is very likely the court will appoint her. It is also possible to appoint the godmother as guardian in a document that is not the will.

Is a godparent a legal thing?

The answer is no. Although their status may be changing, godparents still fulfill only religious or cultural roles, not legal ones. Legal guardians, by contrast, can step in to become caretakers for children if parents become unavailable and make all practical decisions about housing and day-to-day life for them.

What is the legal role of a godparent?

A godparent's role is a moral and religious one; it is the role of a 'sponsor' and being named as a godparent to a child does not create a legal relationship between the godparent and the child. If both a child's parents were to die the godparent would not automatically become the child's guardian.

Do you have to be religious to be a godparent?

While the secular interpretation of godparent is a bit of a free-for-all, the Christian interpretation is not. To be a godparent to a Catholic child, you have to be a baptised, practising Catholic (although a baptised person from another denomination can serve as an \u201cofficial witness\u201d).

Can you be a godparent if you are an atheist?

An atheist can be a wonderful influence in a child's life, but being a godparent is to be a representative of the religious community and an example of godly living (which is why they should be baptised and preferably confirmed), in addition to supporting them socially.
