[m_man1]

Hello all

Just need some info on the above as cannot find it anywhere

I git my ilr in march 2010 when bio metrics where not needed I am planning to apply fir naturalisation and I have to enrol for my biometrics at post office with a home office bar code letter???
Not sure how to go about this one

Can anyone please point me in right direction??



Thanks in advance

If you have received a letter from Home Office to enroll your biometrics, follow these steps :

1. Take the letter with you to a Post Office that offers the service (not all of them do). You don't need an appointment.

2. The letter has a barcode on which is specific to you and your application.

3. At the PO, advise them what you are there for, they will direct you to the correct counter.

4. Give the person the letter and they will direct you through the process to take your finger prints and digital photo.

5. They will scan the HO letter and your information will be uploaded automatically to HO.

6. Pay the fee (£19-50) and you are done.

Everyone applying for naturalisation after 6th April 2015, regardless of whether you have done the biometrics in the past or not, will be required to do it as part of the application proccess. The Home Office will send you a letter asking you to go do it at the post office. Not all post offices provide biometric services so you will need to find the right one if/when the time comes

When you apply for naturalisation ---> then they send you a letter to enrol biometrics ---> when you receive that letter, follow the steps that CR001 has outlined above.

So to apply fir naturalisation I skip the biometrics part and wait fir home office to send me the letter ...just that dont want to get it wrong and incurr an expense

Very minor correction to this - the current fee is £19.20

You need to complete the biometric part of the citizenship form but then you wait for the letter from Home Office to enroll your biometrics.

Thanks, been a couple of years since I have had to use the service and took a rough guess
