A controversial movement in the U.S. promotes raising children without birth certificates or social security numbers, claiming it protects them from government control. This trend, known as "sovereign babies," is linked to the "sovereign citizens" ideology, which rejects state authority. Influencers are selling courses to parents on avoiding official registration, with some claiming their children travel internationally without documents. Critics warn that lacking official papers can hinder access to education and healthcare. While some alternative documentation may be accepted for passports, this does not validate the sovereign citizens' beliefs. UNICEF emphasizes that birth registration is crucial for children's rights.
