Statelessness and Digital Identity

Documents

Description: This brief challenges the assumption that inclusion in digital identity systems automatically benefits stateless people or those at risk of statelessness. It shows that access to ID alone may not improve legal status and can reinforce exclusion where nationality is not explicitly recognised or granted. The brief offers practical guidance on designing digital ID systems that support meaningful inclusion, including stronger civil registration, due process safeguards, and legal pathways to resolve nationality status, alongside necessary legal and institutional reforms.
