Description: This paper synthesizes research on the identification challenges faced by Sub-Saharan African and other migrants and refugees in Egypt and Morocco, with a focus on children born outside their parents' country of nationality. It reviews legal frameworks for birth registration and identity documentation and highlights practical barriers, including difficulties accessing consular services. Based on interviews and focus groups, the paper outlines how these obstacles risk exclusion and statelessness, and offers recommendations for legal and administrative reforms to ensure access to legal identity for all, in line with international policy goals.
