Annexes 6. Does the child come from a country where birth registration is not routine or is complicated or costly? If so, does this have implications for their acquisition of nationality? 7. If the child does not have a valid identity document, have they tried to obtain or renew identity documents and been refused or ignored? Do they have evidence of this? How many times have they tried? Did they have adequate legal assistance with these efforts? (Note: refugee parents or children should not be expected to contact the authorities of a State if they fear persecution by that State) 8. Does the child or their parents come from a country or territory where there is a high risk of statelessness, that is not-fully recognized as a State, is occupied by another State, or that is affected by State succession or a land dispute? 9. Does the child or a parent belong to a group which is known to be stateless/at risk of statelessness? 10. Does the child come from a country where women do not have the right to pass their nationality on to their children in the same way as men? If yes, have they inherited their father’s nationality? (For example: Saudi Arabia, Bahamas, Bahrain, Barbados, Brunei, Burundi, United Arab Emirates, Swaziland, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kiribati, Kuwait, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Malaysia, Mauritania, Nepal, Oman, Qatar, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Togo) 11. Has the child’s mother faced problems registering her child because she is female? (Or has she not attempted to register her child because she believes she will have difficulties doing so?) 12. If the child was born outside the country of a parent’s nationality, do that country’s laws require children born abroad to be registered to acquire nationality? If so, are there barriers to that registration taking place, or have any deadlines for registration been missed? 13. Was the child able to go to school or access health care in their country of origin or place of residence? If not, was this because they lacked a birth certificate, identity documents or proof of nationality? 14. If a nationality has been recorded for the child, does the child or a parent or guardian contest this nationality and, if so, why? 15. Did the child or their parents have access to statelessness determination procedures in another country? If yes, what was the authority’s decision? Is it a sound decision that takes into account all relevant facts? 76
