Hi all,

I am applying for naturalisation next week. However, today I was pulled over by police for using phone while driving. I admitted to him that I had the phone in my hand. He said that I will get 6 points on my driving license and penalty of a 100 pounds. However, the process of issuing the penalties can take weeks before it actually appears on my driving record. My question is, do I need to disclose this on my application when I dont have any formal letter of the penalties and no reference number? Thank you

Thank you guys for your responses.

I spoke today to two different solicitors and they both agree that I should mention what happened and mentioned that it is only a traffic stop and the final penalty is not specified yet and it might take long before I hear again from the police. They also added that mentioning it will give me more credibility as I am not trying to hide anything.
