232: Tribunal may require provision of biometric information

You could also call this:

“Tribunal can ask for physical identification information”

The Tribunal can ask you to provide biometric information. This means they can ask you to give them information about your body, like your fingerprints or a picture of your face. They might need this information to help them make a decision about your appeal or case. You might be asked to do this if you’re the person who is appealing a decision or if you’re affected by the case the Tribunal is looking at.
