Need a final answer for effect of PCNs on ILR application

[a85]

Hi Everyone,

I know this topic has been discussed a lot, and I have done my homework. But after reading all the comments, I have ended up to two different conclusions:

I am about to apply for ILR. My driving licence record is clean, but I have two PCNs (issued by local council and paid, and no penalty or whatever). Should I declare them? Here are my conclusions based on the comments of others:

1. I do not need to declare as they are paid, and more importantly, the case worker is not able to trace the PCNs issued by local councils.
2. I should declare them as I have multiple (two) PCNs, and it can have effect on my application.

Would you please guide me which conclusion I must go for?

This has been discussed many times. Comments of random people and what they believe is not the standard, the standard is the immigration rules. The immigration system is not opinion-based. As per immigration rules, only recordable convictions that are recorded on your criminal record affect ILR. PCNs are not convictions, they do not have any effect and they even have no connection to you personally in most cases. Only convictions must be declared

Dont declare. No effect.
