Before you apply

Enrolment requires a Tribal Register number (call 0800 668 285, log in to Kākaho, or email tribalregister@tnn.co.nz). A separate "TNN annual kaumātua grant" is mentioned as the alternative to this plan but its own criteria and amount are not published on this page — worth checking the Kākaho portal for that record if revisited.
