On 25 March, in Kyrgyzstan, an Instruction “on the Procedure for State Registration of Civil Acts” entered into force in accordance with the new civil registration law. The instruction establishes the procedure for registering the fact of the birth of a child and issuance of a birth certificate regardless of the parents’ documentation status. Under the new legal provisions, actual birth certificates can only be issued after at least one parent is documented. On 25 March, the Syrian President issued Law No. 13/2021, amending the Civil Affairs Law, introducing facilitated procedures to access civil documentation within and outside the country. A new “One Syrian Registry Office” will be created to enable Syrian citizens to register civil status events, including births, in any civil registry office in Syria regardless of the place of their original records. The new law will also extend deadlines to report civil events from 30 days to three months for events occurring in Syria and from 90 days to nine months for events occurring abroad. On 11 April, the Syrian President issued Legislative Decree No. 7/2021 exempting Syrian citizens for a six-month period from paying fines for not registering civil status events or obtaining identification cards within the required timeframes.

From 21 May to 4 June, in Burkina Faso, 16,854 birth certificates were delivered to internally displaced persons and host communities in Boucle du Mouhoun, Northern, Eastern, South-Western and Hauts-Bassins regions. New border demarcations following rulings from the International Court of Justice, coupled with a drastically reduced number of functioning civil registration offices due to armed conflict, has led to heightened risks of statelessness in these parts of Burkina Faso. On Action 8, in South Sudan, UNHCR and the Directorate for Civil Registry, Nationality, Passports and Immigration in Bor assisted 695 individuals of the transborder Anyuak community in Poachella to apply for citizenship documents. In line with Action 10, Improve quantitative and qualitative data on stateless populations, on 10 May, the Government of Estonia launched the Estonian Integration Monitoring 2020, which includes data on the attitudes of the in situ stateless population (who are referred to as “persons with undetermined citizenship” by the Government of Estonia) towards acquiring Estonian citizenship. The results show that 56% of stateless persons are interested in obtaining Estonian citizenship and also shed light on the challenges they face in this regard. 10
