In plain English
Biometric information is identifying information based on a person’s physical or behavioural characteristics. This status says the responsible authority already has that information from the person.
In context
Here, it reports that the responsible authority has received the person’s biometric information.
- Situation
- Following passport, visa, residence, border, and immigration-document administration
- What it communicates
- reports that biometric data has reached the authority
Meaning limits
By itself, this status does not show whether that information has been checked or what decision will follow.
Examples
“After she sent her biometric information, her case changed to Biometrics received, but nothing there showed whether it had been checked.”
“The officer marked the record Biometrics received once the applicant's biometric information arrived.”
