Naturalisation

[Mushroom]

Hi! I've applied for naturalisation about three weeks ago but didn't declare a penalty for disorder (shoplifting) as is passed about 7 years and wasn't sure if I need to declare. What should I do now? Please if anyone can advise me ASAP

Hi! Just applied for my naturalisation couple weeks ago bit didn't declare the PND( penalty notice for disorder) as it's already passed more than 6 years and from the comments I've been reading on internet I understood that if is the only non-caution I've got and older that 3 yrs I don't have to declare, but on some other comments says that it's better to send a letter to HO and infirm them. So what should I do now as already passed three weeks since I've submitted my application? Need advice ASAP please? Thank you!

You can read this:

In nutshell, it wouldn't affect your application that you had that incident 7 years ago.

However, you should have declared it under section 3.5 of the AN application and give details:

The Penalty for Disorder is not part of the criminal records but stays on the Police National Computer:

Well I guess that's the application form but I've already submitted my application( actually my solicitor did) three weeks ago so I was wondering if is anything to do now ? If I should send a letter to HO and inform them about it?
