Subordinate to the Directorate, there are five regional offices, to which some procedural functions have been delegated in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 22. In most cases, applications for adoption shall be made to the competent regional office, which is authorised to grant advance approval for the adoption of a child resident in another state. The Directorate is the appellate instance. If, in an exceptional case, an adoption is to be arranged without the services of an accredited adoption agency, the Regional Office for Children, Youth and Family Affairs, Eastern Norway will grant the advance approval in the first instance. The Directorate is then the appellate instance. The regional offices and their addresses are:
