Registration/Profiling/Documentation
Both the Protection and CCCM clusters

reference
For the CCCM cluster it is
aimed to apply normal
UNHCR registration
standards (individual
registration) in a phased
manner
What do the Guiding Principles say?
• No mentioning of registration
•
Principle 20 of the
Guiding Principles
states that “the
authorities concerned
shall issue all
documents necessary”
