Southern First Nations Secretariat (SFNS) is facilitating a clinic for Registration Under the Indian Act and Secured Certificate of Indian Status (SCIS) applications, in partnership with the University of Guelph’s Office of Indigenous Initiatives.

SFNS can:

• Help you complete your application
• Take your photo on-site
• Verify your identity, documents, and make copies – no guarantor needed, and you keep your original documents
• Send your application to Indigenous Services Canada on your behalf

For Registration Under the Indian Act applicants:

• Proof of birth document
• Government-issued photo ID (must have your name, date of birth, photo, signature and be valid)
• Note: As a Trusted Source, SFNS only offers support in applying for Registration Under the Indian Act and does not have authority to determine who is qualified to receive registration.

For Secured Certificate of Indian Status applicants:

• Government-issued photo ID (must have your name, date of birth, photo, signature and be valid)
• Status Registration Number
• Must be 16 years of age or older, or 15 years of age or younger with a parent or guardian
