ILR to British Citizenship

[sandydec26]

If you received a warning, then it may be safer to wait at least 3 years before naturalising.

Responding to your PM here:

I am sorry to hear about the police warning (caution) you received. As @Vinny said, it will be safer for you to apply after 3 years unfortunately.

Probably you can get a DBS check to see what does it state:

If you have flawless past i.e. no criminal convictions, cautions, warnings etc, you may still apply and explain in a cover letter. It will be up to CW’s discretion though. A risk is involved that you may loose your fees if refused. You will be able to apply again after 3 years if refused though.

Thank you both vinny and CULLINAN.

I have made a phone call to the police. They checked again the accident and the warning letter in their system, and they assured me it's not a criminal record and it is just a letter to ask me to be careful when driving in the future. I think I will still submit my application next week as planned since I don't have any record in the past besides this warning. I have nothing to lose other than the fees. I will go for it.

Good luck. I believe you will be okay.

I believe I need to declare this warning when I am asked if I have ever had any ”A caution, warning, reprimand or other penalty”?

Yes.

Good luck!
