An apostolic administration in the Catholic Church is administrated by a prelate appointed by the pope to serve as the ordinary for a specific area. Either the area is not yet a diocese (a stable 'pre-diocesan', usually missionary apostolic administration), or is a diocese, archdiocese, eparchy or similar permanent ordinariate (such as a territorial prelature or a territorial abbacy) that has no bishop or archbishop (an apostolic administrator sede vacante, as after an episcopal death, resignation or transfer to another diocese) or, in very rare cases, has an incapacitated bishop (apostolic administrator sede plena). The title also applies to an outgoing bishop while awaiting for the date of assuming his new position.

Characteristics

Apostolic administrators of stable administrations are equivalent in canon law with diocesan bishops and archbishops and so they have essentially the same authority as a diocesan bishop and archbishop. This type of apostolic administrator is usually the bishop or archbishop of a titular see.

Administrators sede vacante or sede plena serve in their role only until a newly-chosen diocesan bishop or archbishop takes possession of the diocese. They are restricted by canon law in what they may do to the diocese that they temporarily administer. For example, such an administrator may not sell real estate owned by the diocese or archdiocese. That type of administrator is commonly an auxiliary bishop and a priest serving as the vicar general of the diocese or the ordinary of a neighboring diocese.

Normally, when a diocese or archdiocese falls vacant, the previously-appointed coadjutor bishop takes possession of the see, or (a successor is not yet installed or assumed office) a vicar capitular or diocesan administrator is chosen locally. However, the Pope, the head of the Catholic Church, may decide to name an administrator himself instead, of waiting for the college of consultors of a particular diocese or archdiocese to appoint a diocesan or archdiocesan administrator, and it is then called an apostolic administrator. Sometimes, a retiring, promoted or transferred bishop is designated to be apostolic administrator until his successor is installed, or the metropolitan or a fellow suffragan is appointed.

Apostolic administrations

In March 2021, there were the following stable apostolic administrations, most of which were administered by a (titular or external) bishop, are of the Roman Rite and are in former or current communist countries:

• Apostolic Administration of Atyrau, in Kazakhstan, suffragan of the Metropolitan Archbishopric of Astana
• Apostolic Administration of the Caucasus, immediately subject to the Holy See, established in 1991 for two predominantly-Orthodox former Soviet Republics: Georgia (the cathedral is in its capital, Tbilisi) and Armenia
• Apostolic Administration of Harbin in the People's Republic of China, immediately subject to Rome, established in 1935, with a cathedral and a bishop without papal mandate since 2012, recognized from the Holy See in 2018
• Apostolic Administration of Kinmen-Matsu, immediately subject to the Holy See, established in 1968 for Fuchien Province (Kinmen and Matsu Islands) of the Republic of China (Taiwan)
• Apostolic Administration of Kyrgyzstan, a mainly-Islamic former Soviet Republic in Central Asia, immediately subject to Rome, founded in 1997 as a mission sui juris and promoted in 2006
• Apostolic Administration of Uzbekistan, a predominantly-Islamic former Soviet Republic in Central Asia, immediately subject to Rome, founded in 1997 as a mission sui juris and promoted in 2005.

Some apostolic administrations have jurisdiction over Catholics of the Latin Rite but also over those of other rites, which do not have their own jurisdictions there:

• Apostolic Administration of Southern Albania, with pro-cathedral see at Vlor?, established in 1939 for all Catholics in southern regions of Albania, of the Latin and the Byzantine Rites, since 2005 is suffragan of the Metropolitan of Tirana–Durr?s.

Also, some apostolic administrations have jurisdiction only over Catholics of the Byzantine Rite, which does not have its own jurisdictions there:

• Apostolic Administration of Kazakhstan and Central Asia for Faithful of Byzantine Rite, with a see in Karaganda, for Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

Jurisdictions in North Korea

The Diocese of Pyongyang, North Korea: its last official bishop, Francis Hong Yong-ho, was imprisoned by the communist government of Kim Il Sung in 1949 and later disappeared. The Metropolitan Archbishop of Seoul, in South Korea, acts as the apostolic administrator for Pyongyang, as religion is suppressed in North Korea.

The Diocese of Hamhung and the Territorial Abbey of Tokwon: their last ordinary, the abbot Boniface Sauer, was imprisoned in 1949 and died 1950 in prison. The Bishop of Chuncheon currently acts as the apostolic administrator of Hanhung, and the Abbot of Waegwan Abbey acts as of Tokwon.

Personal Apostolic Administration of Saint John Mary Vianney

In addition, the Personal Apostolic Administration of Saint John Mary Vianney is a non-territorial jurisdiction, similar to a personal prelature; it is exempt, immediately subject to the Holy See and not part of any ecclesiastical province. It is a separate particular church for traditionalist Catholics within the Diocese of Campos, in Brazil, a suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Niterói.

The personal apostolic administration was formed by Pope John Paul II to administer to a group of traditionalist Catholic priests that uses the Tridentine Mass and reconciled with Rome on January 18, 2002. The group had been formed by Bishop Ant?nio de Castro Mayer and been associated with the Society of St. Pius X of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.

Outgoing bishops

While awaiting for the date of assuming his new position or installation, the outgoing bishop may still serve as bishop or archbishop of a diocese or an archdiocese and at the same time act as the apostolic administrator of a diocese that he currently leads from the time of announcement or appointment to that if his assuming into his new position.

Temporary administration of vacant sees

It is fairly typical that the pope can decide to name an administrator himself to a diocese or archdiocese that lacks an ordinary (bishop or archbishop). He then calls as apostolic administrator, instead of waiting for the college of consultors of a particular diocese to appoint a diocesan or archdiocesan administrator. Usually, the emeritus bishop is appointed in such a case. If the appointed apostolic administrator is a diocesan bishop or archbishop of a diocese or archdiocese, he governs two dioceses, which are his own and the vacant one, the latter being temporarily while a successor of a vacant diocese is not yet installed or assumed office. Recently and exceptionally, the Archdiocese of Saint Andrews and Edinburgh had Philip Tartaglia under that procedure.

For example, Luis Antonio Tagle, Archbishop of Manila, was appointed as Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples on 8 December 2019 and ended his tenure as the archdiocese's archbishop when he took office on 9 February 2020. Broderick Soncuaco Pabillo, Auxiliary Bishop of Manila, was then appointed as apostolic administrator until Cardinal Jose Advincula became Tagle's successor as archbishop on 24 June 2021.

Ruperto Cruz Santos, the fourth Bishop of Balanga in Bataan and Socrates Buenaventura Villegas's successor from 1 April 2010 to 22 July 2023 and assumed office on 8 July 2010 (4,860 days), ended his tenure as the diocese's bishop when he became fifth Bishop of Antipolo, with jurisdiction over Marikina, in Metro Manila, and the province of Rizal upon his installation on 22 July 2023 to succeed Francisco Mendoza de Leon, who retired as bishop on 22 July 2023. Florentino Galang Lavarias, Archbishop of San Fernando, Pampanga, was then appointed as the diocese's apostolic administrator while it was awaiting for the installation of Santos's successor as Bishop of Balanga. Honesto Flores Ongtioco, the second Bishop of Balanga, from 18 June 1998 to 28 August 2003, succeeded Celso Nogoy Guevarra and Bishop of Cubao in Quezon City since 28 August 2003 and served as the apostolic administrator of Malolos, which covers the province of Bulacan and the city of Valenzuela from 11 May 2018 to 21 August 2019 because of the death of Jose Francisco Oliveros, who served as the diocese's fourth bishop from 14 May 2004 to 11 May 2018.

Michael Yeung Ming-cheung, the Bishop of Hong Kong, died on 3 January 2019. Cardinal John Tong Hon, a bishop emeritus, was then appointed as apostolic administrator.

The Pope may to appoint an apostolic administrator sede plena, as a temporary replacement. Anthony Sablan Apuron, the Archbishop of Aga?a, was under investigation for sexual abuse in June 2016, and Pope Francis then appointed Savio Hon Tai-fai as apostolic administrator sede plena. On 31 October 2016, Michael J. Byrnes, Auxiliary Bishop of Detroit, was appointed Coadjutor Archbishop of Aga?a with full administrative authority and later succeeded as archbishop.
