Biometric Capture and Exceptions

Fingerprint Quality

Fingerprint capture needs clean fingers, correct placement, retry discipline, and quality checks.

Iris Quality

Iris capture requires proper distance, focus, lighting, and resident positioning.

Photo Capture

Photo capture should show the resident clearly and follow UIDAI quality requirements.

Biometric Exception

A biometric exception must be used only when the biometric cannot be captured as per permitted process.

Retry Discipline

Retries should fix placement, cleanliness, lighting, or device issue before marking an exception.

Device Hygiene

Clean and functional biometric devices improve capture quality and resident comfort.

Supervisor Approval

Exception or quality-sensitive cases may require Supervisor review under the applicable workflow.

No Bypass

Convenience or queue pressure is not a valid reason to bypass biometric capture requirements.
