Most customers now enrol their biometrics at a UK Visas &amp; Citizenship Application Service (UKVCAS) centre.</p><p>The previous service offered by the Post Office was biometric enrolment only, whereas the new UKVCAS service brings together multiple services to make the application process more streamlined.</p><p>The UKVCAS service is run by our commercial partner, Sopra Steria Ltd (SSL), who undertook market research to identify service locations; their research included the impact on customer travel time, cost and accessibility. The results of this were that 62% of customers will, on average, have to travel less than 25 miles to visit a core service point, with 78% travelling less than 50 miles.</p><p>SSL can also cater for customers who wish to have more flexible, on-demand, mobile application services, for example at university campuses, employers’ offices or individual customers’ homes.</p><p>As part of this contract SSL continuously captures and analyses customer feedback and reviews customer demand to ensure there is sufficient capacity. During May and June SSL opened six additional sites: Manchester, Cardiff, Exeter, Leeds, Sheffield and Edinburgh, with the view to open more.</p><p>For information on the closest core and enhanced service points to Luton, please see the UKVCAS website at: <a href="https://www.ukvcas.co.uk/locations.%20" target="_blank">https://www.ukvcas.co.uk/locations. </a></p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 22/07/2019 15:56:55 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
