Reminders
- After any event- birth, death, marriage, divorce, name change – it takes 6-9 months to complete a change of record at the Regional Office.
- It is important for parents to register babies to the Band as soon as they receive their birth certificates from vital statistics. Once registration is complete, the child is entitled to medical benefits.
- Adults renew status cards every five or ten years, children every three years.
