According to the Code of Canon Law for the Catholic Church, sponsors must:
- be designated by the person to be baptized and/or confirmed (or the person's parents in the case of infant baptism)
- have the ability and intent to serve in this capacity
- be at least 16 years old unless the bishop or pastor has granted an exception
- be a practicing Catholic, confirmed and receiving Eucharist
- not be the parent of the person to be baptized and/or confirmed
The Code also specifies that there is to be one male or one female sponsor, or one of each.
A non-Catholic may serve with a Catholic who meets the above criteria as an additional witness.
