Our close friends have asked my husband and me to become the godparents of their children and we have agreed. I was wondering how we go about becoming the godparents through documentation.

Different denominations and/or faiths have their own customs and documentation procedures for this. It would help to know what faith and/or denomination in which this will be taking place in order to better answer your question.

A godparent is a person who stands with or for an infant at the time of their baptism. Legally to the state there is no documentation. Each denomination ( church) has its own rules as to who can be a godparent.
In ours for example you have to be a baptised christian to be a godparent. In some denominations you have to be a member of that specific denomination.

Normally the only documentation will be a copy of the baptism certificate. The godparents sometimes get a certificate showing they stood for the infant.

The only duties of a godparent would be to be sure the child is raised in the teachings and doctine of the church, esp in case the child's parents would die.
