Tribal Enrollment The tribal rolls close thirty (30) days prior to any Special or Regular Election and will remain closed thirty (30) days after or until certification of the election. Lineage Chart Tribal Enrollment Application Re-Certification Form Enrollment FAQs Enrollment Definitions Mission Statement The mission of the Office of Tribal Enrollment and Records is to uphold tribal sovereignty and execute responsibilities of tribal enrollment as dictated by the Constitution of the Lumbee Tribe . The office seeks to preserve for all time the Lumbee way of life by maintaining vital records provided by and for tribal members. In doing so, the office is in keeping with the tribe’s desire to honor our ancestors and provide for future generations. The Enrollment and Records office is regulated by CLLO-2010-0121-01 An Act to Provide Tribal Enrollment Ordinance. This ordinance is in accordance with Article II of the Lumbee Constitution. To qualify for membership with the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina (new or updating), applicants must have direct biological descent from one or more persons named on the tribe’s base rolls and maintain historical or present day contact. The rolls will close thirty (30) days prior to any Special or Regular Election (typically held in November) and will remain closed thirty (30) days after or until certification of the election. New Enrollments Applicants for tribal enrollment who are aged 18 and over, have to attend a Lumbee History Culture Class before their application for enrollment can be finalized. At this time, the class is being held at the Lumbee Tribe Housing Complex, 'Turtle Building,' at 10:00 am and 1:30 pm daily excluding holidays. It is by registration only and to register, you may contact tribal enrollment staff at enrollment@lumbeetribe.com or call 910.668.6099. After the class, a certificate of completion will be issued. A copy of the certificate is required for the completion of the tribal enrollment application. This class is also required for individuals who are re-instating their tribal enrollment and for non-Lumbee parents who are applying for tribal enrollment on behalf of their minor child. At this time, space is limited and the class is limited to only the applicants. Applications for tribal enrollment will be provided in the office , but they can also be downloaded and printed using the following link, Enrollment Application (requires Adobe Acrobat and it is recommended to print on legal size paper for the best quality). If you are having trouble printing it on legal size paper, we will have applications on hand for you to complete when you arrive in the office. Bring all required information* (certified county issued birth certificate** that records parents’ names for each person to be enrolled, the Certificate of Completion from the Lumbee History Culture Class--if attended when class was at the Boys & Girls Club, and a photo ID for adults) to the tribal office during regular business hours. Failure to bring this required information may delay or prevent enrollment. Please note that minors do not need to be present in order for the parent or guardian to enroll them. However, if you want a picture ID card for your child, the child need to be present. For non-Lumbee parent, if the Lumbee parent is not enrolled, you will need to bring that parent’s county issued certified birth certificate that records parents’ names as well.

Birth certificates will only be accepted from the state when the county does not issue birth records. ​ **NO appointment is needed to update your enrollment. **If you are a new enrollment, you must register by emailing your name and phone number to enrollment@lumbeetribe.com or call 910.522.5468.

If you are adopted or have a child that is subject to an adoption order, please be prepared to provide the biological birth certificate and amended birth certificate. If the biological birth certificate is not available and you know the biological parent(s), we will accept DNA evidence of biological descent. Please be advised that the Enrollment Office reserves the right to request DNA evidence from any applicant or member. 3. The rolls will close thirty (30) days prior to any Special or Regular Election (typically held in November) and will remain closed thirty (30) after the certification of the election. 4.
