Afghanistan - Please confirm whether in Afghanistan in a taskera (tazkira) it is always the case that a person's age is stated to be "determined to be" rather than the actual age inserted as verified by for example a birth cert. When applying for a taskera, what documents are requested by the authorities to determine a d.o.b.? Is there any evidence of taskeras being capable of authentication forensically or by comparison with taskeras known to be genuine?
