# Hatarat Nedarim may be done at night and with relatives. <ref>S"A YD 228:3 writes that Hatarat Nedarim may be done at night and with relatives. </ref>Some say that although Hatarat Nedarim may be preformed if one of the judges is a relative of the petitioner, it may not be performed if two of the judges of the Bet Din are relatives to one another.<ref> [http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/782120/Rabbi_Hershel_Schachter/Inyonei_Yom_Hakippurim Rabbi Hershel Schachter in a shiur on Inyonei Yom Kippur (min 40-2)] quotes Rav Aharon Soloveitchik as having ruled that while a relative could perform Hatarat Nedarim in front of a Bet Din with his relative as one of the judges, one may not perform Hatarat Nedarim in front of a Bet Din which has two judges who are relatives of one another. A support for this ruling is Rabbi Akiva Eiger (comments on S"A YD 228:1) who writes that while relatives can serve as a Bet DIn for Hatarat Nedarim, a woman can't serve on such a Bet Din. </ref>

# In general, one should not do Hatarat Nedarim on [[Shabbat]] if the Hatarat Nedarim isn't needed for [[Shabbat]]. For a congregation there is room to be lenient regarding performing Hatarat Nedarim on [[Shabbat]] or on [[Yom Kippur]] itself.<ref>Chazon Ovadyah (p. 263)</ref>

# The custom is to do [[hatarat nedarim]] on [[erev rosh hashana]] and [[erev yom kippur]]. <ref> Kaf Hachayim 581:12, Yalkut Yosef Moadim page 22, Yabia Omer OC 2:30, Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim page 42 </ref>
