The Immigration (Biometric Registration) (Amendment) Regulations 2012
These Regulations amend the Immigration (Biometric Registration) Regulations 2008 (“the 2008 Regulations”) so as to extend the categories of persons who are required to apply for a biometric immigration document. They also allow the United Kingdom to complete the in-country rollout to issue biometric immigration documents pursuant to the Council Regulation 1030/2002 (laying down a uniform format for residence permits for third country nationals).
