Documents

Description: This briefing focuses on challenges faced by unaccompanied and separated children in Europe related to documentation, birth registration, and nationality. It explains that missing documents, unclear origins, or difficulties confirming nationality may be indicators of statelessness.It is aimed at guardians, guardianship service providers, and others supporting children and young people, including those with limited or existing knowledge of statelessness. It sets out what statelessness is, how it can arise, and how guardianship services can identify and respond to it in practice. It highlights four key moments for action: initial contact and vulnerability assessment, access to protection procedures, return and readmission processes, and transition to adulthood.
