- sylware 4y agoI doubt this is the case, because I can bet that US customs require way more than that.
- edent 4y agoI literally live in the UK and have a recently issued passport. No fingerprints were taken. https://www.gov.uk/apply-renew-passport https://www.gov.uk/apply-renew-passport The US authorities do take fingerprints on entry. But they have nothing to compare them with.
- sylware 4y agoI have contradicting info: the US requires biometric passport on entry, that with significant biometric data.
- robjan 4y agoWe were talking about our UK passports not having biometric data contained within them. The US and UK are different countries.
- sylware 4y agoofc, but if you want to go to the US from UK, you must have a UK biometric passport with sufficient biometric data in the chip to satisfy the US customs.
