“The failure to request or obtain a residence permit, and even the absence of a valid identity document on the part of the applicant, cannot constitute grounds for denying the application for citizenship pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 2, of Law No. 91/1992, given that it is nonetheless possible to identify the individual with certainty through the photo-fingerprint records taken for the purposes of identification and the civil registry file as an asylum seeker, which contain his personal details and photograph.”
