GUIDELINES - Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB)

A CDIB is an official document that certifies an individual possesses a specific degree of Indian blood of a federally recognized Indian tribe.

You are eligible to receive a CDIB if your name or the name of your lineal ancestor appears as an Indian by blood on a base roll of a federally recognized Indian tribe.

Lineal ancestor means a direct ancestor, such as a parent, grandparent or great-grandparent. Your degree of Indian blood is computed from the Indian blood degree of your lineal ancestors. Lineal ancestry and blood degree are based on birth parentage.

Indian blood means… Indian or Alaska Native blood of a Federally recognized Indian tribe or… any person not a member of one of the LISTED or eligible to be LISTED TRIBES who possesses at least ONE-HALF degree of Indian blood.

Department of the Interior - Bureau of Indian Affairs

Proposed rule: Certificate of Degree of Indian or Alaska Native Blood
