Within 5 working days after checking the documents, the children's affairs service conducts an examination of the applicant's living conditions, based on the results of which it draws up an act.

It is necessary to apply for the appropriate application for the establishment of guardianship at the place of registration of the person who needs guardianship, or at the place of actual residence of the future guardian.
