Court of Rome, Order of February 16, 2021

“It must be emphasized that what is relevant is the de facto statelessness at the time of the children’s birth, since the measure recognizing stateless status is declaratory in nature — it establishes the existence of a factual situation — and not constitutive.” (see Court of Rome, Order of 24 October 2023).
It will therefore be necessary for the applicant to prove his or her stateless status, even if only de facto.
