Find out if your biometrics are still valid

Before you start

You can use this tool to check if your fingerprints and photo (biometrics) are still valid for your application. You will need:

  • Your Unique Client Identifier (UCI) found on official IRCC correspondence.
  • Your exact Date of Birth as registered on your passport.

Note: Biometrics are generally valid for 10 years from the date they were enrolled.

This 8 or 10 digit number is on letters you receive from us (e.g. UCI or Application Number).
