el42069··on Ask HN: Where and how can I get a citizenship if I'm stateless?
I'm not sure where I was born. As I said, I was taken away from my real parents as an infant and abandoned to live with an awful family who adopted me without even telling me I'm adopted. I guess my parents are of European origin. I tried changing my legal name, dropped the last name and made some spelling correction to the first name. Legally, the procedure was complete. But when I went to have it updated on my national IDs, they sabotaged it three times. Made me go through the entire procedure of verification, generated acknowledgement receipts, and eventually gave me bullshit reasons like technical error. The employees at the office were confused as well, even they didn't have any idea why it wasn't updated. Perhaps I got the attention of the government when I spoke out against the war on public forums. And they're now sabotaging my life. So, I don't even have a name right now, which is good because I didn't like the name that was given to me. I wish I could find my real parents, I know they are out there somewhere. I don't know what to do.

I've already read through it before. Unfortunately, I don't know where or how to begin. All the countries expect me to be physically present before applying for citizenship, and I need a passport to leave the country I'm stuck in. Also, I don't have any documents. I'm wondering what are my options? It's certainly not the usual situation with me.

I considered this https://www.gov.uk/apply-citizenship-stateless https://www.gov.uk/stay-in-uk-stateless

I'd apply for citizenship, but I am unable to. I already have a startup idea that can fund it, if only I could have the necessary resources to get started building it. I couldn't even apply to YC2023 batch, given my situation. I am unable to do anything, because I don't have any IDs, bank account, phone number... not even a home. I need a fresh start, a citizenship in a good country with new name.
