Existing Statelessness determination procedure To be consistent with the standards set out in the 1954 Convention, the grant of a residence permit to a stateless person should be accompanied by the right to work, access to health care and social assistance, and the issuance of identity papers and a travel document. For example, legislation in Spain provides for the right to work for those recognized as stateless. Family reunification is not expressly provided for under the 1954 Convention but is a principle that is recognized in a number of international human rights instruments. States are encouraged to facilitate family reunion for individuals determined to be stateless in their territory. An example of good practice in this respect is Brazil, where residence permits are granted for the purpose of family reunion, including to family members not already in Brazil. In Argentina, family members can obtain the same type of residence permit and on the same terms as a recognized stateless person unless they can obtain another Argentine residence permit under more favorable conditions. Family members do not need to already be living in Argentina. In Uruguay, family members of foreign nationality have the right to obtain legal residence in Uruguay and an identity document. In Costa Rica, the statelessness status of family members who do not have a nationality will be recognized by extension. Other family members who do have a nationality can get their stay regularized in Costa Rica. 7. Facilitating naturalization of stateless persons In accordance with Article 32 of the 1954 Convention, it is recommended that States Parties facilitate, as far as possible, the naturalization of stateless persons. Indeed, SDPs are a pathway to ultimately resolving a person’s statelessness through the acquisition of a nationality. Facilitating naturalization involves adjusting requirements and procedures for naturalization to make it easier for stateless persons to acquire nationality. This may be achieved, for example, by creating expedited procedures, reducing or waiving residence, income and language requirements for applicants and by exempting them from fees or the obligation to provide documentary evidence.
