Simplify complex civil registration procedures impacting disproportionately on Roma communities, including where these prevent Roma from registering the births of their children – in particular where the child's mother is deceased or unavailable, when the child's biological father is not part of the household (not married to the mother); for persons that turned 18 (adults) and are not enrolled in the civil records. This should incorporate law and policy reform where necessary, training and capacity building of frontline officials, cooperation and information sharing between countries, and community engagement.

Also establish a special procedure (administrative or judicial) for determination of the time and place of birth of persons born at home. Improve the collection and monitoring of data disaggregated by ethnicity including on birth registration, documentation status, and access to fundamental rights such as education and healthcare, with appropriate steps to ensure the data is fully anonymised. Make available effective remedies for all those seeking to resolve their documentation status, including state-funded legal aid, the removal of barriers to accessing justice such as court fees or fees for DNA testing, judicial oversight, and robust complaints and compensation mechanisms. Take responsibility for proactively identifying, addressing and eliminating any stereotypical or discriminatory views or actions among their staff concerning Roma through improved leadership, training, and capacity building on national and international obligations and good practice, as well as better monitoring and implementation of robust complaints procedures for service users to seek redress. Work with Romani communities to identify the needs, concerns and barriers they face, and support the co-development of action to tackle priority issues. Take concrete action to address the multiple discrimination that leads to Romani women being unable to access their rights to reproductive and maternal healthcare and reduce the rate of involuntary home births. Establish in law a statelessness determination procedure and status in line with the 1954 Convention, UNHCR guidance and best practice.
