Biometric Appointments for Children under the age of five

Children under the age of (5) five will be required to apply for their UK visa in person and attend a biometric enrollment appointment.

Parents will also need to book an appointment at the UK Visa Application Centre for any children under the age of (5) five when applying for a UK visa.


A facial image (photograph) will be taken of child applicants as part of the submission process. 

New rules governing the collection of biometric data require all applicants to provide a live-capture digital photograph.
