Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a minor may demand a home municipality certificate under Art. 45 BV without parental consent.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Under established practice, minors are not persons who can freely determine their residence; they need the consent of the holder of parental authority to obtain such documents.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 45 BV obliges home authorities to issue certificates only to persons entitled to free settlement. Minors are excluded because their place of residence is not determined independently but by the will of the person holding parental authority. Since no consent existed, the refusal was lawful.
