Risks of statelessness for children of undocumented parents in Europe
There are a growing number of children born as 'undocumented migrants' in Europe: born to undocumented parents in a region that favours jus sanguinis, rather than acquiring citizenship or a residence status based on birth in the country, they will usually inherit their parents' 'undocumented' status. Children born abroad to undocumented parents as well as undocumented children who migrated with their families or by themselves and reside irregularly in Europe can find themselves at risk of statelessness due specifically to the circumstances which surround their undocumented status.

To address the risks of statelessness of this growing number of undocumented children in Europe, governments should implement a number of policy reforms.
1. The right to birth registration regardless of the residence status of the child or parents, including a prohibition of refusal, should be explicit in national legislation. There should be minimal administrative requirements (e.g. accepting declared data; possible registration by a third party). Also, equal access to health services, including maternity care, should be provided.
2. There must be a 'firewall': a clear separation of civil registration, services, protection and justice from immigration enforcement through a prohibition on personal data sharing in law and practice (including through issuing guidelines and providing training).
3. Laws that criminalise irregular entry and residence should be revoked.
4. Nationality laws that restrict transmission and acquisition of nationality should be reformed in view of ensuring every child's right to nationality. In particular, there should be no discrimination in nationality (or statelessness determination) laws due to the irregular residence of the child or parent.
5. Governments should develop and implement accessible permanent mechanisms for children of undocumented migrants to regularise their status, on the basis of human rights and reasonable conditions.
