These regulations amend existing UK immigration legislation concerning the collection, use, and retention of biometric information.
Key changes include expanding biometric data requirements to include entrants to the UK, allowing for electronic submission of data, clarifying the process for issuing biometric immigration documents, and updating data retention periods.
