# 410.1704 Treatment of an individual whom ORR has determined to be an adult.

If the procedures in this subpart would result in ORR reasonably concluding that an individual is an adult, despite the individual's claim to be under the age of 18, ORR shall treat such person as an adult for all purposes.
