Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) The circumstances in which Member States should consider issuing a European travel document for return include cases in which a document that is not valid or is no longer valid for travelling, a civil registry certificate, another official document, or a copy thereof, proves the nationality of the illegally staying third- country national subject to a return decision. Examples of such documents are expired passport, or identity card or third-country laissez passer; military or maritime identity card, driving licence; nationality, birth, marriage certificates; extract from the Visa Information System. Member States could also consider issuing such document when the third-country national, whose nationality has been confirmed by the competent authorities of a third country, has not received a valid travel document within a reasonable deadline.
