I first registered my biometrics when I extended my Tier-1 general visa (this is the first instance I received a BRP) as my first Tier-1 general visa was a stamp in my passport. I thought the same biometrics were used for my BRP when I obtained indefinite leave to remain, and the same biometrics would also be used for citizenship. Is my understanding correct, or do I need to register biometrics again?just make sure you are available for the biometrics a few weeks after your application
You will need to register your biometrics again after you submit your naturalisation application. The UKVI will send you a letter telling you to do so (with a barcode so that your photo and fingerprints can be passed along to them from the post office where they're registered).acha114 wrote:I first registered my biometrics when I extended my Tier-1 general visa (this is the first instance I received a BRP) as my first Tier-1 general visa was a stamp in my passport.

When applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain, I did use the same day service in Croydon, and I do remember sitting with a staff member taking my fingerprints. So, I suppose that was the time my biometrics were taken for my application?Did you not have to do this when you applied for indefinite leave to remain?
Yes it was. They take your biometric data every time you apply for a new visa/leave to remain. I assume they check the data against your previous application(s) to make sure that you're the same person who applied (and was approved) last time.acha114 wrote:When applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain, I did use the same day service in Croydon, and I do remember sitting with a staff member taking my fingerprints.

Yes, that makes more sense now. Thanks for clarifying. I have the AN form with my 2 referees filled out now so just have to wait for the appointment date and hope for the best.They take your biometric data every time you apply for a new visa/leave to remain.
