Biometric Appointment- Dilemma

[Nodrog 0]

So I got a dilemma that I'll have to deal with tomorrow. Tomorrow is my fingerprint appointment but I recently got cut by a razor and had to get a minor surgery on my finger as it was infected. Now part of my print is gone 😑 (sigh) talk about bad timing. I am planning on just showing up at the appointment tomorrow and show them my finger as I can't send the notice to be reschedule at such short notice.

My question is, does anyone know if they will do 9 fingers and then ask me to come back at a later date for the other one or they will just reschedule me for another date to do all ten at once? 

 

NB: This is going to be my second reschedule as I was reschedule because of Irma.

Good question! I suspect that their computer won't accept less than all 10 fingers... but of course I have no idea. When you go to the appointment, tell the first person you see what the situation is and explain how you couldn't reschedule because there wasn't time. Ask them if it would be better to just reschedule now, and see if they can give you a new appointment.

 

Let us know how it goes! Good luck!

@Nodrog When I went for my biometrics appointment, they only needed my index finger and thumbprint. Don't reschedule. Show up and see how it goes.

Unfortunately, I got my index finger so I had to reschedule.

So when I got there the first lady at the front desk looked at my finger then she called another lady, then that lady called a guy to look at my hand to see if I could do the fingerprint with cut on my index finger. At the end he said I should reschedule until 3 weeks time.

 

They all were nice overall but my fingerprint could not get done yesterday.

What exactly do they do with people who are missing the "required" fingers, I wonder.

I'm sure there's a way in their fingerprinting software to indicate that a finger is actually missing (and a missing finger would need to be recorded as it's definitely part of your "identity verifying data", which is what the whole biometrics business is about)!

What if you have a hook for hand?
