- Current Driver’s License or Photo ID
- Proof of Residency: a bill, rental agreement, or official mail with address.

If you have more questions about registration, please call our main phone line at (801) 486-4877 and ask to speak to our Patient Registrar to check your status.
After all paperwork has been submitted online or in person, please allow 24 to 48 hours for processing.
A potential UICSL client (child or adult) may be eligible to register for UICSL services as a descendant through a tribally enrolled parent or grandparent. Registrations via first or second descendancy require birth certificates that directly connected the person registering to the enrolled parent or grandparent along with the enrolled family members’ verification of tribal enrollment (CIB, Tribal ID, etc).
Each situation can be unique. Please call us at (801) 486-4877 to speak to our Patient Registrar to determine what is needed for you or your child to register for services.
Certificates of Indian Blood (CIBs) and Tribal IDs are issued by tribal nations or your tribal enrollment office. Please contact your tribal enrollment or vital records office for information on how to obtain a copy.
You can find contact information for a few local tribal vital records or enrollment offices below. Or Google the tribal name plus “tribal office.”
Requirements and eligibility for tribal enrollment vary by tribal nation. Contact your tribal vital records office or enrollment office to obtain information on how to enroll.

There are lots of resources online to research Native American ancestry. Google “Research Native American ancestry” to find some guides on how to go about it. Click the link to be directed to learn more about where to start.
In short, for those who have no information on which family member has/had tribal enrollment, they will need to do some extensive family history research in order to gather vital records information to submit to a tribal enrollment office that proves direct lineage. Again, requirements and eligibility for tribal enrollment vary by tribal nation. Contact the tribal enrollment office to know what is officially required.
There are no staff members at UICSL that help with ancestral research. Refer to the online resources to start your research. If you would like to hire a genealogist, search via Google for a local genealogist or family history researcher.
A Certificate of Indian Blood (CIB) or Tribal ID is required to register as a client at UICSL. DNA tests results do not meet the Tribal ID card or CIB requirement.
UICSL does not release any third-party documentation (Driver’s License, CIB, Social Security card, etc.) presented to our office when you register.
If you are coming to the UICSL for the first time, please bring the 4-6 items requested for registration – even if the registration is completed online. Once it has been confirmed that we have all required information in your chart, you will be eligible to receive services.
Please bring your photo ID and insurance card to every visit.
Some UICSL services do not require health insurance. However, services that might be needed outside of our facility may require payment by the patient.
To avoid delay in health services please meet with our Benefits Coordinator to discuss health insurance options, such as applying for Utah Medicaid.
If you are insured with Medicaid, Medicare or private insurance, UICSL may bill your insurance provider so that we may be able to provide services to more people in our American Indian / Alaska Native community.
UICSL offers healthcare access and case management services, diabetes support services, behavioral health outpatient services, family programs, social services, referrals and other services.
