Can a Jehovah witness be a godparent to a catholic baptism?
No. A godparent needs to be Catholic. If there is one catholic godparent, another sponsor can be admitted as Chrsitian witness only, if not Catholic, but Jehovah would not be condidered Christian as they have different belief in the creed we recite during baptism
What will you do if you don't have a record of baptismal in the church where you baptized?
If you are catholic, you will need a record to receive first communion, confirmation, and marriage sacraments. The church where you were baptized should have it, but if no longer there, the receiving church should have it. If not, you will need an affidavit from a witness (parent, godparent) who can attest to the baptism. If no witness, you may need a conditional baptism. If you are not catholic, you will need a record to be married in the catholic church to a catholic party. Int his case, if no record is available, or no witness, a declaration of nullity form is used where baptism is in question; this can be approved by the bishop if no other impediments exist.

Can a non-Catholic serve as a sponsor at a Catholic baptism?
No. Your sponsorship is your endorsement of the ceremony. Since Catholics believe that the fullness of the truth is in the teachings of the Catholic Church, sponsoring a non-Catholic baptism would mean you are allowing a loved one to be raised without the fullness of the truth. Therefore, all Catholics shouldn't be a sponsor at a non-Catholic baptism. The proper thing for a Catholic to do is to express that you are happy they are entering into the Christian faith but remark that the Catholic Church is the only Christian church founded by Jesus and therefore, they remain a separated brother or sister from the church unless they become Catholic. Remember, the key is to love them with a Christ-like love. That means being honest and telling them the truth. Not to give a watered down consent for a ceremony that will not bring them into full union with Christ's Church. As an aside, the Catholic Church does allow you to attend the baptism, just not sponsor.
