If you are asked to give your fingerprints and a photograph (otherwise known as your biometric information) at a visa application centre, you’ll need to check you have a blank page in your passport for your visa.

As you’re a little younger, you’ll need to ask for written consent from both of your parents or legal guardians (or one parent if they have sole responsibility). Make sure this includes consent for:

• Your living and care arrangements in the UK
• Your travel to the UK

Don’t forget to provide a copy of your birth certificate (or another government-issued document) that shows the names of your parents.
