1If there is uncertainty about the age of a person, the prosecuting body, pursuant to a motion of a party or on own initiative, shall issue immediately a ruling determining the age of the child.
2The age shall be determined on the basis of the complete evaluation of any available information, including official documents such as birth certificates, school data, medical data, declaration of parents for the age, or the self-declaration of the child and a report based on a medical examination.
3If, even after verification and expertise, the age of the child is again uncertain, it shall be presumed that the person is a child.
4If the age of the child has been determined roughly, the younger age of the child shall be taken into account when deciding on criminal liability.
