CHAPTER I
16. Has the child and/or their parents been detained but removal to another country
has proved impossible? Does this indicate that the parent and/or child is stateless?
CHAPTER II
17. Has either parent been stripped of their nationality, for example, for political reasons,
before or after the child’s birth, and does this affect the child’s nationality?
18. Has either of the child’s parents acquired a new nationality in the child’s lifetime?
Does this affect the child’s nationality?
22. Since the child’s birth, has their mother married someone other than the child’s father?
Does this affect the child’s nationality?
CHAPTER VI
23. Is there any other reason to be concerned that the child may be stateless?
CHAPTER V
21. Were the child’s parents married (in a marriage recognized as valid in any relevant
States) at the time the child was born? Have they married subsequently? Does this
affect the child’s nationality?
CHAPTER IV
20. If the child can potentially acquire the nationality of the State in which they were
born based on residence for a certain number of years, and/or on other conditions,
does the child meet all the relevant conditions? Are there any practical barriers to
acquiring that nationality?
CHAPTER III
19. Are the child’s parents subject to discrimination based on gender in a country of origin
or residence, which may mean the child is not recognized as having the nationality
of the parents?
