NOTICE OF RETROSPECTIVE REGISTRATION
Mohawk National Vehicle Registry Initiative (NVR)
Retrospective entry under Rule 11 of the Rules of the Register. Original directive code: SG0500-241031-010002. Date of registration: 3 April 2026.
That the Secretariat of the Mohawk Nation of Grand River hereby enters in the Register the directive establishing the Mohawk National Vehicle Registry Initiative (NVR), issued by the Secretary-General on 31 October 2024, as the administrative instrument creating the vehicle registration system of the Nation.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The NVR directive established a comprehensive vehicle registration system for vehicles operated by registered Mohawk citizens within the Grand River Territory, operating independently of the Ontario vehicle registration system. The NVR applies to all vehicles operated by registered Mohawk citizens within the six-mile boundary established by the Haldimand Proclamation and issues its own registry identifiers — being the vehicle plate identifiers that constitute formal registry property of the Nation.
The directive established: the vehicle registration process; the issuance of NVR plate identifiers as nation-issued registry instruments; the requirement for GRNDIP insurance certification for all registered drivers; the Mohawk Driver ID Card as supplementary identification; and the enforcement and governance structure for the registry.
ACTIVE LEGAL RECORD
Registry Identifier GRMNVR-000001-000001 (plates G00-032 and G00-026), issued under this directive, was seized by Constable McManus #457 of the Brantford Police Service on 14 March 2026 within the Grand River Territory. That seizure is recorded as Incident No. 001 in the non-recognition record maintained under the National Identification Framework (GZT001-050300-000002 [placeholder — instrument to be identified]) and is the subject of active administrative demand by the Attorney General.
