Understanding the legal barriers that refugees and asylum-seekers face due to the proof of identity documentation required for SIM card registration and the financial sector. This report focuses on a relatively under-explored, but nonetheless significant barrier to access among refugees and other displaced persons: legal and regulatory requirements mandating that an individual’s ID is authenticated before accessing a mobile connection, bank account or mobile money wallet. This research is the first of its kind to systematically understand and address the combination of these challenges.
