Biometric data collection

Will I be able to provide my finger scans if any of my fingers are missing, injured or decorated?

If any of your fingers are missing, you can still provide scans of your remaining fingers. We will make a note of this. If you have cut or damaged your fingertips, or if you have applied any form of temporary decoration (for example, mehendi or henna) you will not be able to provide your finger scans. You should apply when the injury has healed or the temporary decoration has faded.
