Is it easier than postal?

Also regarding biometric
Who is exempt from enrolling their biometric information?

The following people do not need to enrol their biometric information as part of their application:

diplomats appointed to a mission in the UK or travelling through the UK to a country where they are accredited;
foreign government ministers and officials in their delegation travelling to the UK on their government's official business;
United Nations (UN) officials holding UN travel documents who are travelling on official UN business;
children under 5 years old;
people applying for a certificate of entitlement to right of abode in the UK;
people applying for visas for other Commonwealth countries and British overseas territories;
certain internationally recognised organisations on official business;
exempt members of the Commonwealth Forces going on a posting or training in the United Kingdom;
dependents of exempt members of the Commonwealth Forces who are going on a posting only. (If the main applicant is attending a course in the UK, the dependents will need to submit their biometric data).

Also,

Check this page from UKBA website.

What happens when you enrol your biometric information?
Enrolling your biometric information is a quick and clean process. We photograph your face digitally, then you put your fingers on a glass screen to be scanned. There is no ink or mess.


The process takes less than 5 minutes.

We are aware of the need to protect applicants' dignity, privacy and modesty. There will be special arrangements for applicants where needed.

Children aged under 6 years old do not need to provide their fingerprints.

Children aged under 16 years old must be accompanied by a 'responsible adult' to reassure them and ensure that they understand the process. A responsible adult is their parent or guardian, or another person aged 18 years or over who takes responsibility for the child.
