Are godparents checked if they're christened?

Out of curiosity, does the church of england check if godparents have been christened?

@Ellena no exactly. I just wasn't sure is all

No they are not checked. We are godparents and are not christened ourselves.

@Jodie thanks for your reply xx

When my LG was christened i filled out the paperwork to give to our vicar which needed to include who we chose for godparents and a tick box to say if they had been christened/baptised. Only 1 out of the 5 we chose hadnt been christened but nothing was said about it and the other 4 wasnt checked to see if they had been christened. This was back in 2022 😊

@Rebecca thanks! I find it interesting as it seems really strict then been told different things by so many people xxx

Yeah it does when we 1st started booking the christening our vicar said that all godparents had to be christened so we panicked about the 1 who hadnt but still put them down on the form anyway and we expected them to say no but nothing was said about it so they were able to be a godparent x
