biometrics enrollment deadline?

Post by schen » Sat Dec 11, 2021 11:43 am

Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a deadline for the biometrics (i.e., fingerprints) enrollment after the online application? I'm currently outside the UK and it's getting difficult to plan travel due to the worsening covid situation...
It's said I need to submit the documents within 30 working days, and does it apply to the biometrics enrollment too?
Many thanks!

Hello all,
I was wondering if it's possible to enter my biometric enrollment outside the UK? I'm now in Europe and prefer not to travel back (if possible at all) to the UK in Jan given the covid situation there...
Many thanks!

To the best of my knowledge, you are expected to be in the UK for all stages of a naturalisation application (submission of application, biometrics, citizenship ceremony, etc). You are free to travel out of the UK, but are expected to be in the UK for these stages at least.

I therefore do not think that you can submit your biometrics from abroad (nor can you take part in a citizenship ceremony abroad).

But wait for others to advise further.
