Dear All,
I need some help regarding PCN for a yellow box junction last year. In total I have received two PCN in last 5 years. Do I need to declare both and if so then where,
Guideline for good character is a changed and now it says as follows (there is no mention of last 12 months any-more)

3.6-3.7 You must give details of all criminal convictions both within and outside the United Kingdom. These include road traffic offences. Fixed penalty notices (such as speeding or parking tickets) must be disclosed, although will not normally be taken
into account unless:
• you have failed to pay and there were criminal proceedings as a result; or
• you have received numerous fixed penalty notices.
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 disregarded despite any penalty points being removed from your driving licence.

Please can some one help, I am going to apply in a couple of days.
Regards
JM

I had 2 PCNs for driving on a Bus Lane (it was the same bus lane), I paid them off and that was it. I was even charged a delayed payment fee for one of them. I didn't declare any, and I got my naturalization approved without any questions asked.

I think it's only FPNs that needs to be declared, a fully-paid off PCN wouldn't need to be declared.

I'm sure the in-house experts can prove me wrong on this.

Hi there,
Just wanted to check if someone could give more light in this topic. I am applying for naturalization and wanted to know if I need to declare council parking tickets (PCN) in my application.
I have seem some posts about this here, but they are before the change that is mentioned above.
Please, any light?
thank you!!!

You dont need to declare PCN as they are part of civil conviction process - only FPN is required as they are part of criminal process

Dear All

I am in the process of filing my naturalization application. I have received PCN by TFL for for parking in the loading bay. I have paid the fine in time.

Please advise whether to mention this on the form section 3.4 or not.

Thank you for your time.
