YEREVAN, November 29. /ARKA/. The UK embassy in Armenia will introduce
the registration system for biometric data. The embassy’s press service
reported that this innovation is implemented to inculcate the global
system of human identification, aimed at protecting people’s identity
and facilitating the process of entry to the United Kingdom.
Beginning from December 1, all who want to receive a UK visa should
go to the embassy in person and submit their fingerprints.
The fingerprints will be inputted in the database by a scanner.
"Those who refuse to submit their fingerprints will not be eligible
to receive a visa," reported the UK embassy’s press service.
