The LHR Statelessness project has received 2000 queries related to birth registration in the last five years. The trends indicate that the lack of birth registration is most prevalent amongst the following categories of children: children of refugees, asylum seekers or stateless parents; children of irregular migrants; children of undocumented South Africans; children who have been abandoned or orphaned; children who are unaccompanied or separated (including migrant children); and children living in border populations or remote areas.
