PARENTAL CONSENT FORM INAC.pdf
2) A COPY OF THE CHILD’S BIRTH CERTIFICATE THAT STATES THE NAMES OF THE CHILD’S PARENT.
(Note to determine child’s correct entitlement under Indian Act, is very important that both parents are on birth document IF they are both registered Indians.)
DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE SENT TO THE REGISTRY ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE FIRST NATION THAT CHILD IS TO BE REGISTERED UNDER. CHILD MUST BE REGISTERED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR NON-INSURED HEALTH BENEFITS.
