CURRENT SITUATION
Likewise, millions of children have had their identity falsified or illicitly modified due to issues such as corruption, trafficking, harmful traditional practices and emergency situations.
Without an identity, children invariably face problems accessing basic rights such as education, health, development, social services, and they are also at greater risk of being sold and trafficked. These problems have a lifelong impact on the child and future generations. This is particularly true when considering the child's family relations, a constitutive element of identity.
OUR VISION
Child Identity Protection strives to ensure that there is integrity, transparency and accessibility for every child’s identity in name, nationality and family relations with expeditious restoration whenever elements are missing.

OUR MISSION
Child Identity Protection is an association based in Geneva since 2020.
Child Identity Protection is the only international not for profit organisation solely advocating for the protection of children’s identity rights in family relations.
Child Identity Protection (CHIP) works with States and other stakeholders to promote universal birth registration and full knowledge of family relations.
OBJECTIVES
Child Identity Protection collaborates with States, UN agencies, international organisations and other stakeholders to ensure that international standards as well as regional standards are fully respected.
Child Identity Protection seeks to build on the work of the United Nations Legal Identity Agenda who focuses on civil registration and vital statistics by considering the family relations aspect of identity.
Child Identity Protection advocates for laws, policies and practices to uphold identity rights by:
- Spearheading positioning of identity rights in family relations on the global agenda
- Contributing to the achievement of universal birth registration and accurate documentation
- Promoting access to and speedy re-establishment of identity, when elements are missing and/or falsified
