We invite you to stop by and take part in our Citizenship Registration & Photo ID event on Saturday, June 6th at the University of Illinois Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, where Cherokee Nation staff will be on‑site to support citizens and families in the area. This is a great opportunity to update your Photo ID, begin a new citizenship application, or connect with Cherokee Nation departments offering services and assistance.
Our team will be available throughout the event to answer questions, guide you through required documents, and help ensure your visit is smooth and successful. If you have questions ahead of time, please call (918) 525‑2178.
We hope you’ll join us, your participation strengthens our Cherokee community and helps ensure every citizen has access to the services they deserve.
