The registration phase involves the collection and recording of personal data necessary for the procedure. This generally includes information such as names, dates of birth, nationality, family links, and contact details. In some cases, identity photographs are taken and biometric data such as fingerprints are collected.

Registration is important for establishing identity, facilitating security checks, and ensuring that all members of the refugee’s family are correctly documented throughout the process.

It is important that refugees are informed about why their data is collected, how it will be used and what safeguards are in place to protect it. Transparency during registration helps build trust and ensures informed participation in the process.
