Framework agreement for DNA - analyzes

The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (the udi) offers dna-analyses to applicants that have difficulties in documenting their stated consanguinity. This can apply to applicants of all nationalities, mainly linked to cases of family reunification or asylum. The main group of applicants being offered dna analyses are nationals of Afghanistan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan and Syria. udi also offers a dna analysis to nationals from all the countries in Africa south of Sahara except South Africa.
The analyses will mainly be aimed at confirming or disproving a parent/child relationship. In some cases, it may also be of interest to confirm or disprove other kinds of consanguinity, for instance a sibling relationship or a grandparent/grandchild.
