Fingerprint services
The Fingerprint Bureau will take fingerprints of members of the public who are currently residing in the UK, where you require ‘police clearance’ or ‘good conduct’ certificates from abroad.
We do not have any authority to take prints for passports or renewals of passports. You should be redirected back to your embassy who will arrange this for you.
