The Membership Department provides services for Sik-E-Dakh Band Members only, including:

• Status card renewals and replacements

• Applications to transfer from one First Nation to another

• Registration of children

​

Registering Your Child

Parents are encouraged to register their children as soon as possible.

​

To register your child, you must provide their original long-form birth certificate showing both the mother’s and father’s names. Please ensure you request the correct version from Vital Statistics, as some certificates only show the child’s name and will not be accepted.

​

Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) no longer accepts commemorative birth certificates as proof of birth.

 

Only the following documents are accepted:

• Original Birth Certificates

• Birth Declarations or Particulars

• Live Birth Registrations issued by Vital Statistics

 

The original birth certificate must be submitted with the application. ISC will return it within approximately 3–4 weeks.

​

Please note that registration processing times may take 6 months or longer.

​

Registering your child is important to avoid potential issues with health coverage and access to services such as prescriptions and doctor visits.

​

Other Membership Updates

The following updates may also take approximately 3–6 months or longer to process:

• Marriages

• Divorces

• Amendments

• Band transfers

• Death registrations
