Applicants for whom it is physically impossible to provide biometrics (e.g. Emergency ?stretcher? cases) are exempt. Note: Applicants with 1 or no fingers are exempt from the requirement to provide fingerprints. However, they are required to provide a live capture facial image and are therefore not biometric exempt.

If the resident has any deformities due to which it is not possible to take fingerprints/iris, these also have to be captured as a biometric exception. Check and indicate Biometric Exceptions in the software, only where applicable.
