Citizenship for Those Born in Australia are Stateless
If you were born in Australia but are not a citizen of any country, and have never held foreign citizenship, you may be eligible for Australian citizenship. This pathway specifically addresses situations where individuals born here are not entitled to acquire another country’s nationality.
The key requirements include proving your birth in Australia and comprehensively demonstrating your current and past statelessness. While there’s no application fee, the process requires meticulous documentation. Expert guidance can be vital in navigating these complex proofs.
