Are your sure this is required for a passport application abroad?

My understanding is its same abroad as for UK.

Obviously child is too young (below cutoff age) for fingerprints; photos required though. Aren't they?

We don't submit biometrics for passport applications.

Yes. Apologies, my mistake; (you just can't get the staff for a Bank Holiday).

Its been so long since we did it that I'd forgotten the reason we had to do the biometrics.
No biometrics then.
