Due to the high volume of inquiries we have received, we would like to share some helpful information about tribal IDs and enrollment offices. Tribal identification cards and Certificates of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB) are recognized at the federal level and in many state contexts. These IDs support tribal sovereignty and are used for accessing services, verifying enrollment, and other official purposes.

This information is accurate as of now. Please let us know if any tribal enrollment contact details need updating—email us or message our page.
