Announcement

April 15, 2021

Bois Forte and 1854 IDs will be at the Vermilion Social Center from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

IDs at Vermilion 4.15.2021

  • Tribal IDs

    Tribal ID Cards

    To get a new Identification Card, Band Members will still need to present documentation that establishes their identity. This is a requirement by the State of Minnesota and a card will not be issued without the required documents.

    • The cards that some Band Members may have are still valid and a re-issue fee of $12.00 will be charged if the Band Member would like a new card prior to their current card’s expiration date.
    • One of the benefits of the new Identification Card is that the card program runs off the same database that Enrollment staff use to keep Band Member information current. So, if a Band Member has already presented an Original Certified Birth Certificate it should be in the database. Band Members will still need to present a secondary form of identification.
    • View the Policy & Guidelines for Issuance of Tribal Enrollment Picture Identification Cards and the forms of identification that are needed to get a Tribal Identification Card.

     

    A phone call or email before coming to get an identification card is appreciated. This will prevent Band Members from traveling to Nett Lake only to find out that they need a secondary form of identification or are required to pay a fee. If you have questions, call the Enrollment Coordinator.
