I cannot prove my identity through a passport from my homeland since I have a passport that the Migration Board does not accept — can I prove my identity in some other way?
You can personally decide what you want to submit to prove your identity. You are free to submit whatever evidence you wish to submit and the Migration Board will take account of all evidence you present.
If you do not have a valid passport, it is often the case that no other individual document can prove your identity. On the other hand, after making an overall assessment of all the documents you have submitted the Migration Board may find that you have proved your identity.
On the part of the Migration Board, we would like to point out that all identity documents and other documents from Somalia are of very little value when the question of identity is to be determined.
Examples of documents that may contribute towards proving your identity are:
- identity documents issued in a third country,
- witness statements from close relatives - e.g. a relative in Sweden (i.e. the reference individual) or other close relatives´ information about you.
