Establish flexible and affordable procedures for delayed and late registration, through which children and adults who were not registered at birth can be registered and obtain birth certificates. Exceptions or waivers for late fees should be available for those forcibly displaced and stateless persons (and others) who are unable to afford late fees. Timebound amnesties without fees and with simplified procedures may be implemented to address backlogs of late birth registrations. Plan, cost and invest in the scale-up of accessible birth registration services that benefit forcibly displaced, stateless and host communities. International community should provide budgetary support to authorities to address large-scale influx of refugees and IDPs, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, in the spirit of responsibility-sharing. For refugee and asylum-seeking children, establish procedures for registering the birth of children born in the country of origin, whose birth was not able to be registered and/or get a copy of the registration. Provide information to forcibly displaced and stateless communities on birth registration processes and implications. Engage these communities in identifying and addressing specific barriers and enablers to birth registration. Children whose births have not been registered and/or who lack birth certificates should be allowed to access basic services such as health and education, while waiting to be properly registered. Children should be not denied access to basic services and rights including school or health services due to the lack of a birth certificate. Alternative forms of documentation such as refugee certificates or witness statements should be put in place to allow children without birth certificates to access these services. Ensure personal data is processed in line with human rights principles, notably including confidentiality and privacy. Firewall birth registration data and processes from immigration enforcement procedures46 or other punitive measures, and ensure respect for data protection principles. 46 Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families and Committee on the Rights of the Child, “Joint general comment”.
