NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION FRAMEWORK
Constitutional Canopy over the Identification System of the Mohawk Nation of Grand River
NOTICE TO ALL PERSONS AND AUTHORITIES. The identification instruments described in this framework have been in operation since October–November 2024 under the directives cited below. Any refusal to recognize, seizure of, or interference with a national identification instrument is an act against a registered constitutional instrument of the Nation and will be formally recorded and addressed by the Attorney General.
Be it known to all whom it may concern:
That the Secretariat of the Mohawk Nation of Grand River hereby enters in the Register the National Identification Framework as the master constitutional instrument giving formal grounding to the suite of national identification instruments operating within the Grand River Territory under the following directives of the Secretary-General:
GRNDIP Nationalized Driver Insurance Program — SG0300-241028-010001 — 28 October 2024
NVR Mohawk National Vehicle Registry — SG0500-241031-010002 — 31 October 2024
MNTSI Mohawk National Transportation and Safety Initiative — SG0500-241101-010001 — 1 November 2024
MNDIC Mohawk National Driver’s Identification Card — SG0502-241101-010003 — 1 November 2024

MNLDR Grand River Location Determination Rules — SG0500-241119-010001 — 19 November 2024
This framework is the Register’s formal constitutional recognition of an operational system. The directives are the acts of the Secretary-General; this entry is the Register’s record of the constitutional authority under which those acts were made. A challenge to any sub-instrument is a challenge to this Framework as a whole.

MNRID — Mohawk Nation Resident Identification Card: general identification for residents of the Territory.
GRNDIP Certificate — Grand River Nationalized Driver Insurance: insurance certification under the Nation’s governing authority within the Territory.
