Age assessments

If there is any doubt about the UAM’s minority, for example related to the minor’s physical appearance, behaviour, or way of speaking, or when no identity documents are presented or when the authenticity of these documents cannot be confirmed, an age assessment can be ordered.

If there is no doubt about the minority or the age assessment confirmed the minor age, the Guardianship Service will immediately assign a guardian. Generally, the guardian will then decide - in consultation with the UAM - if the asylum application is the appropriate procedure to follow in the best interest of the child
