On nationality Sample Clauses

On nationality. ‌ State practice, in principle, views the possession of passport as a presumptio juris. This is also very clear in the agreements. The presumption though, is now presented as definite proof. Photocopies of passports as proof is rarer but Algeria has it in all her agreements and also the Italy – Morocco agreement. Photocopies and expired passport are generally accepted as a substantiation of nationality, even photocopies of expired passports. Only the Algerian agreements accept photocopies of expired passport as proof. There is in general a very clear acceptance of passports, even expired and photocopies of passports as proof or substantiation. There cannot be said to be any real difference between the emigration versus immigration groups in this respect. Neither when it comes to other nationality papers and documents of citizenship or residence, is there any indication that they are more common in one of the two groups. Laissez-passer and other travel documents are only mentioned in the emigration group. If the laissez-passer is valid it is accepted as proof of nationality and if it is expired then as a substantiation of nationality, apart from the Maghreb agreements which would still consider them proof. Regarding consular registration cards, they are only mentioned in the Maghreb agreements with Italy and Spain, and accepted as proof of nationality. ID cards and other identity papers, even temporary or provisional, have a general acceptance as proof of nationality. If they are expired or copied then presuming nationality is most common, only the Algerian agreements accept them as proof. Service records and military books are generally accepted as proof of nationality, but only the Algerian agreements accept photocopies as proof. Company passes presumes nationality in most but not Maghreb agreements, where they are not listed as means of evidence. Driving licences are a popular form of evidence presuming nationality over all, even photocopied, but two agreements, Switzerland – Albania and Italy – Morocco list them as proof of nationality. Xxxxxx’x books are only a concern of non-Maghreb agreements, and as such they are either proof of nationality, as in all the 206 See chapter 2.6 above.
