and to provide and ensure the accuracy of enrollment data. To issue tribal members certified Certificates Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB) and Tribal Identification cards, as well as verify enrollment for tribal members requesting services through the tribe and or local, state and federal programs. To conduct on site enrollment update visits to designated Yaqui Communities and other areas in need.

The Enrollment Department tries to the best of our ability, to notify all tribal members of important information regarding their membership files or upcoming events but unfortunately, this task is not so easy when addresses and telephone numbers are not current. Therefore, in order to maintain accurate tribal enrollment records, we ask that you inform our office of the following:

• Address changes;
• Name change due to marriage or divorce (provide a copy of the marriage license or divorcee decree);
• Death of a tribal member (provide a copy of the death certificate);
• The birth of a child (must complete the application process for the child)

*Note: The department would also like to inform all tribal members of the ongoing audit of all member records, resulting in each member receiving a certified packet in the mail consisting of updated enrollment information and requests for various missing information. Failure in responding to the request enclosed in the packet may result in our inability to properly verify important member information, therefore possibly causing an interruption in services.
