Besides, for the children of foreigners legally residing in Taiwan, they can apply to the NIA for the ROC (Taiwan) Resident Certificate, and get their rights and interests protected.
If the whereabouts of an individual’s parents are unknown, NIA will issue a ROC (Taiwan) Resident Certificate to the person while he/she is looking for their parents. If their biological parents cannot be found during the search period, the Social Affairs Unit will arrange adoption and naturalization for them.
