I don't think so; it's hardly scientific. Height goes down through the day, for some people up to 1"/2.54cm. So say you are 6'/1.82m on the line, you could be measured at 5'10"/1.79m (almost 5'11") in the evening. That's quite a bit of difference for someone that could be up to 6'2"/1.87m with boots on. Always measure/weigh yourselves first thing in the morning!
I know my height and that's what I sent on my biodata. The receptionist measured me 2cm/over 3/4" shorter at that moment of the afternoon (I work sitting down all day) and that's what they'll report, so hard to say what Immigration will believe. My licence has my proper heigh on it, though (which I think matters more).
p.s. you could argue between max morning height vs effective height; effective height in my opinion should include shoes (flats ~ 2cm/3/4"). e.g. if a person robs a corner store, he/she will be perceived at a height less than their maximum in the morning, but augmented by their footwear, so more than their book height. So both theoretical measurements (morning, or afternoon by doctor, both shoeless) would be wrong. But I digress...
