The BSNC descendant registry is for a lineal descendant or adoptee of a BSNC shareholder. Lineal descendants (e.g., child, grandchild, great-grandchild, etc.) and adoptees of shareholders need to register. Descendants who are already BSNC shareholders do not need to register.

Bering Straits Native Corporation invites descendants to register their information to receive important news and information about descendant benefits. Submitted information will be kept confidential.

To register, descendants must submit a completed registration form and a copy of the state-issued birth certificate or adoption decree establishing the relationship to a BSNC shareholder. If the descendant’s name differs from the name on the birth certificate, or if the shareholder’s name on the descendant’s birth certificate is different from the name BSNC has on file, copies of the legal document(s) substantiating the name change are also required (e.g., a marriage certificate, divorce decree, adoption decree or other legal document). In some cases, it may be necessary to provide additional documents to demonstrate lineal descent.
