Abstract
The estimation of age in minors is an expert that is frequently raised in the Institutes of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences. We present the activity carried out at the Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Alicante during 2023. 26 expert reports were presented, of which 24 corresponded to migrants without family references and 2 to alleged minors admitted to prison. We present the protocol of action of the forensic age estimation unit in minors of the IMLCFA and the results obtained in the 24 cases studied.
