This report presents the main findings of the EMN's Focussed Study on Challenges and Practices for Identifying Third Country Nationals in Migration Procedures based on national reports of 26 EMN members. The aim of this Study is to highlight the important challenges faced by national authorities in their efforts to reliably establish and verify the identity of third country nationals in the context of various migration procedures - those relating to asylum, return and legal migration channels (including short- and long-term visas, as well as residence permits) - and national practices to address these challenges.
