UK Home Office starts issuing biometric identity cards
Effective 25th November 2008, the UK Home Office started issuing biometric identity cards to foreign nationals. For applicants who are applying for further leave to remain (FLR) in the UK, including those originally in possession of a UK fiancee visa, some may be required to gain an identity card.
The applicants who will initially be expected to be granted identity cards are foreign students and their dependents from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, and spouses, civil partners and unmarried partners of British citizens and lawful permanent residents. The UK Home Office has provided clear guidelines for the identity cards, with a detailed explanation of the purpose of the cards, how they will be used, benefits of the cards and details of who will be issued with a UK identity card.
