From 30 November 2009, the UK Border Agency is introducing fingerprint checks at the border for passengers with biometric UK visas and entry clearances.

On arrival in the UK, passengers with biometric UK visas and entry clearances will have their fingerprints scanned at border control. In the majority of cases the passenger’s right hand thumb and first finger will be used. These will then be checked against the fingerprints provided in the application process.

The purpose of this check is to verify that the individual entering the UK is the same person who applied for their visa / entry clearance and using fingerprints enables us to do this with greater certainty.

For more information please see our frequently asked questions page for answers to common questions about fingerprint checks for passengers on arrival in the UK.
