• A real, substantial facilitation of naturalization is provided for stateless persons born outside the territory of Denmark. Specifically, it is recommended that an exemption from the language and nationality tests be provided for elderly stateless persons, who may otherwise be prevented from acquiring Danish nationality like their family members. • The Nationality Act is amended in such a way that children of parents with unknown nationality are treated like foundlings and thus considered Danish nationals as long as they have not been established as nationals of a foreign state. • The Nationality Act is amended to include safeguards against statelessness in case of loss and deprivation of nationality in any form, including when a nationality is considered never to have been acquired because conditions for the acquisition of nationality are deemed not to have been met in the first place. 80 Mapping Statelessness in Denmark
