Abstract: The Bureau of Indian Affairs 

(BIA) is seeking renewal of the approval 

for the information collection conducted 

under 25 CFR 11.600(c) and 11.606(c). 

This information collection allows the 

Clerk of the Court of Indian Offenses to 

collect personal information necessary 

for a Court of Indian Offenses to issue 

a marriage license or dissolve a 

marriage. Courts of Indian Offenses have 

been established on certain Indian 

reservations under the authority vested 

in the Secretary of the Interior by 5 

U.S.C. 301 and 25 U.S.C. 2, 9, and 13, 

which authorize appropriations for 

‘‘Indian judges.’’ The courts provide for 

the administration of justice for Indian 

tribes in those areas where the tribes 

retain jurisdiction over Indians, 

exclusive of State jurisdiction, but 

where tribal courts have not been 

established to exercise that jurisdiction 

and the tribes has, by resolution or 

constitutional amendment, chosen to 

use the Court of Indian Offenses. 

Accordingly, Courts of Indian Offenses 

exercise jurisdiction under 25 CFR 11. 

Domestic relations are governed by 25 

CFR 11.600, which authorizes the Court 

of Indian Offenses to conduct and 

dissolve marriages. 

In order to obtain a marriage licenses 

in a Court of Indian Offenses, applicants 

must provide the six items of 

information listed in 25 CFR 11.600(c), 

including identifying information, such 

a Social Security number, information 

on previous marriage, relationship to 

the other applicant, and a certificate of 

the results of any medical examination 

required by applicable tribal ordinances 

or the laws of the State in which the 

Indian country under the jurisdiction of 

the Court of Indian Offenses is located. 

To dissolve a marriage, applicants must 

provide the six items of information 

listed in 25 CFR 11.606(c), including 

information on occupation and 

residency (to establish jurisdiction), 

information on whether the parties have 

lives apart for at least 180 days or if 

there is serious marital discord 

warranting dissolution, and information 

on the children of the marriage and 

whether the wife is pregnant (for the 

court to determine the appropriate level 

of support that may be required from the 

non-custodial parent). (25 CFR 11.601) 

Two forms are used as part of this 

information collection, the Marriage 

License Application and the Dissolution 

of Marriage Application.

Indian Reservations—Marriage &
