What to do if Cannot Remember a FPN of Over 20 Years

Post by LoloJanet » Mon Feb 26, 2024 5:35 pm

Hi all.

Please can you advise me on some of my issues I noticed when starting UK naturalisation process please.

I have in 2002 - 2003 been in court for a FPN i think was for speeding but I do not remember the exact date or the fine I received. I know I received a fine but cannot remember. In 2005, the same I received another but again cannot remember. I did went to a court when I provided evidence and the judge gave me a fine to pay.

Last year I received 2 PCNs for parking and driving in bus lane (one paid straight and another contested and cancelled). I must said, last year offences, I was not the driver but the registered keeper, so it came under my name (my situation is very weird, I know).

My 1st question is how to declare these that are over 20 years and I cannot remember the exact date and outcomes?

My 2nd question is about the professional referee.

Can I use a friend that is a registered childminder since she is registered with Ofsted? also any healthcare worker qualifies for this as well? for instance, a clinical support worker? My GP that knows me over 21 years said GPs do not qualify anymore. My dentist said the same thing, people he did for came back with issues.

Please any insight into these appreciated.

It's been a very long time. provide all details you can remember, but you paid and never reoffended in the last 19 years. You will be OK

Your dentist should in principle be OK.

This is the official list:

accountant

airline pilot

articled clerk of a limited company

assurance agent of recognised company

bank or building society official

barrister

British Computer Society (BCS) - professional grades which are Associate (AMBCS), Member (MBCS), Fellow (FBCS)

broker

chairman or director of limited company

chemist

chiropodist

christian science practitioner

commissioner for oaths

councillor: local or county

civil servant (permanent)

dentist

designated premises supervisors

director or Manager of a VAT registered charity

director, manager or personnel officer of a VAT registered company

driving instructor (approved)

engineer (with professional qualifications)

fire service official

funeral director

insurance agent (full time) of a recognised company

journalist

justice of the Peace

legal secretary (members and fellows of the Institute of legal secretaries)

local government officer

manager or Personnel officer (of limited company)

member of Parliament

member of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces

Merchant Navy officer

minister of a recognised religion

nurse (RN, SEN or holder of a BA in nursing)

officer of the armed services (active or retired)

optician

paralegal (certified or qualified paralegals, and associate members of the Institute of Paralegals)

person with honours (such as OBE, MBE and so on)

personal licensee holders

photographer (professional)

police officer

Post Office official

president or secretary of a recognised organisation

Salvation Army officer

social worker

solicitor

surveyor

teacher, lecturer

trade union officer

travel agency (qualified)

valuers and auctioneers (fellow and associate members of the incorporated society)

So if you have a friend who works as a nurse that would work - not any healthcare profession. Not sure about childminder as it doesn't appear on the official list.

Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.
I see social work on the list but what about a carer?
thanks

Do you want us to re-invent the wheel for you? The list is the list. If it's not there, no need asking "what if/of".
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!

You would need to ask them if they are a qualified social worker. Many people work as carers without being members of professional bodies.
