Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what provision her Department makes for asylum seekers who require documents from their country of origin to normalise their immigration status.

All asylum seekers are expected to provide any documents they have as part of the asylum process. We do not expect asylum seekers to contact the authorities of their country of origin while their claim is being processed. Where refugee status is granted, a Biometric Residence Permit is issued. This provides immigration status details.
