Do we need to enrol our biometric info when we apply ILR?

If so, do we do so when we arrive for our appointment and get it done same day or do we need to get done before our appoinment?

Thanks!

Biometrics for ILR will apply for application made on or after 29th Feb 2012.

If you are going for the same day service, you don’t need to do anything; just book your appointment online and your biometrics will also be taken on the same day (you don’t need to book a separate appointment for biometrics).

Thanks for your advise.

The press release that mentions the 'make sure to bring the correct form' for biometrics (but with no mention of what form it is!)

Anyone know what form is it ?

Everyone will know when it is published .... on or 1-2 days before the date of change (29Feb).
