Almost all Aboriginal people will provide a proof or Aboriginality from an organisation where they are originally from, it is not necessarily from the local community where they currently live or reside in.

Most Aboriginal Organisations do not have a Common Seal anymore, therefore it is recommended that the Proof of Aboriginality be on an orgs letterhead.
