My child was born in Japan this year. Since both of the parents are not Japanese national, she’s not entitled for a Japanese citzenship (However, she has received a dependent visa to stay in Japan).

At the moment, she’s considered as “statelessness”. We’ve already began the process of registering birth aboard for the country where I have citizenship (Ireland), however, the wait time for this process takes months to more than a year to proceed.

I’ve emailed the department to ask if they can fast-track the process considering that the child is currently stateless. They’ve asked to supply a “original documentation from the relevant civil authorities to confirm that the applicant holds no entitlement to citizenship from their country of birth”.

Does anyone know where and how can I obtain such document? I’ve tried to search online but couldn’t find anything relevant.
