Help required for naturalization application with simple caution
Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2022 10:16 pm
Dear expertise,
During 2011 while I was on student I was given a simple caution by the police. On 2015 I mentioned this simple caution in my ILR application. I was granted ILR on 2015. Now I am applying online for British naturalisation. In the online from in the part Conviction and Other Penalties do I need to declare this simple caution as it been 11 years old since the police issued me a simple caution (following 6 years old filtering rule in DBS check and a non specific offence) in the application?
Also if I click on A caution, warning, reprimand or other out-of-court penalty in the application form it takes me to the next page where under Conditional Caution it says "...You do not need to declare a simple or youth caution". which makes me very confused as my caution was a simple caution and as a thumb rule I should be declaring any caution in the application as I did in my ILR application. But if I follow this application form my understanding is I do not need to declare my simple caution. Can you please provide me guidance?
