A quick question is related to my son's registration as a British Citizen. He will be 2 years old next month. Do I need to enrol his biometric for MN1?

I submitted my application online on 15/11/2019. The earliest appointment I found was on 20/12/2019.
I found on this forum that some people have not enrolled biometrics for a 2.5-year kid.

Just wanted to confirm if there are any exceptions for the kids?

You need to enrol your child for bio-metric at https://www.ukvcas.co.uk/locations
Finger prints would not be taken but digital photograph of the child will be taken.

Once you have completed your MN1 form , the application would advise you to register at ukvcas.

Finger prints would be taken for children above 6 years ( end of Page No 12 and Start of Page No 13)
