You have to go to the post office and have your fingerprints, signature and picture taken and the post office sends them off to the Home Office electronically. You can't just send them in. Check the Home Office website which will direct you to the post office website to see where you need to go. There are only a few major post offices that takes your biometrics. You just can't go to your local post office. I just had mine taken a few weeks ago.
