Got some info for you on the biometrics:
{ Children aged 5 years and over must enrol their biometric information. If they are aged between 5 and 16 years, they must be accompanied by an adult. This adult cannot be a member of our staff. We cannot enrol biometric information from unaccompanied children under 16 years old}.
The following people do not need to enrol their biometric information as part of their application:
1- diplomats appointed to a mission in the UK or travelling through the UK to a country where they are accredited;
2-foreign government ministers and officials in their delegation travelling to the UK on their government's official business;
3-United Nations (UN) officials holding UN travel documents who are travelling on official UN business;
