Treaty registration help?

Looking for any insight or advice. My partners band has recently received a settlement and was paid out to members a couple weeks ago. He has not done his registration yet, as his parents (for some reason) only had gotten his brother and sisters done in their teens. But we now have filled out everything needed to submit his application (we’ve gone over every single part of the application carefully to ensure everything was correct) we included his dads number and he has been in contact with his band and they ensured us he is still entitled as well as our kids as long as we have at least his registration completed within a year. They have also provided us with all the settlement papers and the agreement. We have printed everything in case needed, as well as photo copied his dads status card and license (just in case it’s needed for any further confirmation) my partner can also go in office to submit forms and he also has filled out all the guarantor forms and has someone who meets all qualifications and has known him for 9 years sign the forms and pictures. Our biggest obstacle is he does not have valid photo id but has applied to get a new one sent as well and has the blue card and a picture of his Id that expired not long ago and as well a new health card but also has his old one just in case, and we have his long form birth certificate. Just wondering if anyone has any advice on if there is anyway we are able to get this put through faster or at least before the year would be up? (He doesn’t need his status card just to be registered) i only ask as I know it can take up to 2 years. His band office is very willing to help us in any way they can as well, it’s just of course we know there is a process that is followed and are aware we should’ve been getting this done long ago but as parents to 3 super young kiddos it slipped our minds until we were told we need to get it done asap.. so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
