Recommendation

The Finnish Immigration Service shall improve its procedures in such a manner that it uses all reasonably available means of determining the identity and age of the asylum seekers. These means include at least the particular investigation of the matter during the asylum interview, the utilisation of age estimation measures, and the requesting of information from the applicant's home country, if the threat towards the applicant is not caused by the state.
