If you declare it, should not be a problem. had 2 speeding offences on a motorway got a Fixed penalty declared it and citizenship was granted earlier this monthkoira wrote:Hi,
I am thinking of applying for naturalization in about 6 weeks time. I have had two Fixed Penalty Notices with 3 point endorsement in each case.
The first offense (CU80 - Using a mobile phone while driving a motor vehicle) took place in July 2008 and the second one (CU30 - Using a vehicle with defective tyre(s)) took place in Nov 2009.
Apart from the above offenses, the rest of the case is straight forward - I have been in UK for last 6 years on work permit/HSMP/Tier1 and employed through out.
Would the people with similar situation like me, please share their experience(s) here.
Also, if the decision in my case is not going to be a certain 'NO' then how may i increase the chances of getting a positive decision from Home Office, e.g., will it help submitting application through a reputable law firm etc.
Many thanks
The fines were not issued in the court, however the licence paper counterpart has the first column called 'convicting court code' which is worrying me. Doesn't it mean these are court convictions after all (and different from e.g., fixed parking fines which are not endorsable).Casa wrote:If these were Fixed Penalty fines and not issued in court it shouldn't affect the BC application.
We will normally disregard a single conviction for a minor offence resulting in a bind over,
conditional discharge or relatively small fine or compensation order, if a person is suitable
for citizenship in all other respects. By “minor offenceâ€
Does it make any difference whether you physcially were in the court or received 3+3 points on your licence counterpart which although does not say anything under 'conviction code' 'fine' 'disaqualification period' headings (as it was fixed penalty) but still has the 'convicting court code' which in my case is 2665.1664 wrote:for any of these offences, did you have to go to the court?
If no then you should be fine as long as you have declared them on your form.
If yes - am not sure what happens.
These should not be in the past 12 months, you should have no more than one offenceIf you declare it, should not be a problem. had 2 speeding offences on a motorway got a Fixed penalty declared it and citizenship was granted earlier this month
3.6 You must give details of all civil judgments which have resulted in a court order being made against you. If you have been declared bankrupt at any time you should give details of the bankruptcy proceedings. (Your application is unlikely to succeed if you are an undischarged bankrupt).
You do not need to give details of family law proceedings such as divorce decrees dissolved civil partnerships, guardianship orders, parental responsibility orders.
You must give details of all criminal convictions both within and outside the United Kingdom. These include road traffic offences. Fixed penalty notices will not normally be taken in to account, unless you have had more than one fixed penalty notice in the last 12 months. In that case you may wish to wait to make your application until you have no more than one fixed penalty notice in the 12 month period before applying. Drink driving offences must be declared. If you have any endorsements on your driving licence you must provide the paper counterpart.
Please note that a driving conviction may not yet be spent despite any penalty points being removed from your driving licence.

On AN form, one must disclose any criminal conviction (including traffic offences). What's the difference between a criminal conviction and a traffic offence, by the way?
Many Thanks
