Bimose is currently only providing IRA(Indian Registrar Administrator) or Membership Clerk duties to the First Nations we manage: Niisaachewan Anishinaabe Nation and Wabauskang First Nation. Card stock is being prioritized for the two First Nations.
We are still able to assist in processing births, bill C-3 application, transfer, adoptions, and name change requests for any First Nation.
Alternative options to obtain your Certificate of Indian Status is to apply for the Secure CIS by mail or contact your First Nations IRA/Membership Clerk. Other First Nation IRA/s/Membership Clerks may be able to assist at their own discretion.
***PLEASE NOTE: Once you transfer over to the Secure Certificate of Indian Status system you are no eligible to apply for the laminate Certificate of Indian Status.
