Hi
One of my friend is due for British citizenship next month but unfortunately he received fixed penalty 2 months ago due to over speeding.
Can he apply for British passport or not.
Please help.
Thanks

Thanks

Well, he cannot apply for a British passport unless he becomes a British citizen.

If he has only one FPN in the 12 months preceding a naturalisation application, his naturalisation application will not be refused for that reason.

As emphasised before, one or two or even three FPNs will not adversely affect an application - except there were more than one in the final year. Also see this thread.
