View Full Version : Baby Fingerprints
Hi can you tell me does a baby have to have finger prints taken at Orlando Airport on arrival, also what about the iris ?
tavelling with a 7 month old
Thanks Sheila
No Sheila,
Our 5 year old has not had to be finger printed, so I guess babies are the same:)

Our younger cousin (age12) travelled with us in October and she did not have to have finger prints done either, think it might be 16[msnwink]
]Thank you Dawn and Marianne for your replies,

Our 13 year old didn't have to have his done last year and the immigration officer said it was under 14's, hope he didn't steer us wrong.[msnsmile2]
Thank you all for your replies and help on this matter.

My eldest asked when did she need to have your fingerprints taken, It is 14.
It is not a iris scan, it is just a head shot photo of you.
Hi Ceri,
Thanks for the info on taking fingerprints on entry to the US, we have a while to go then our Lily will only be 7 months at time of travel.
Thanks also for saying about the photo they also take on entry, I actually thought it was the eye they took, so now I know its a head shot...... learn something everyday....

They only do 2 fingers, one on each hand and the photo is taken digitally without a flash.

The only reason it really stuck out in my mind is I remember thinking that last year was the last time he would not have to have it done, he is 14 next week.:D

It will also be our son's first time this year as he is now 14 [msntongue]
when did this come in? We will be going in march so I gather that my wife and I will now have our prints taken as well as our 14 year old son.

our baby was not required to do prints or picture on new years day so NO I dont think so.
