When you are born you have the right to a name and to be registered as a citizen of your country.

Every year, circa 140 million children are born. Of these, 1 in 4 children are never registered before the age of five - 237 million children under the age of five thus have no written proof that they exist. This can make it very difficult to, for example, go to school or see a doctor.
