Application Process:

1. Submit application, along with an original State certified Birth Certificate to establish parentage. If the applicant becomes a member, the birth certificate remains property of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, however a certified copy can be requested by the member of enrolled parent.
2. Submit social security card and/or any other documents deemed relevant by the Tribal Enrollment Office.
3. If the father possesses Lower Elwha Klallam Indian blood and his name does not appear on the birth certificate, a notarized Paternity Affidavit, Court Order of Paternity or DNA results must accompany the application to acknowledge his blood degree.
   (This is for enrollment purposes only.)
4. If the applicant has documentation to verify additional federally-recognized blood quantum, the applicant needs to request from that Tribe

Enrollment Changes

Keeping records up-to-date is very important. Consequently, it is very important that tribal citizens notify the enrollment staff as soon as possible to report changes of addresses, changes in marital status, the birth of a child and unfortunately the passing of a tribal citizen.
