NATURALISATION AND CIVIL PENALTIES

[hasqay]

Hello everyone

Ive had 6 points on my UK diriving license since November 2010 for driving without car insurance. there was no court conviction and I ended up paying £ 200 as well. I am applying for naturalisation in soon after more than a year of having ILR. Does this constitute a civil penalty?

thanks

If you received a FPN then "In determining whether an applicant meets the "good character" requirement, caseworkers should not normally take into account fixed penalty notices, unless the applicant has received numerous fixed penalty notices in the last 12 months, and this would suggest a pattern of behaviour that calls into question their character." Therefore, you can declare it but it should not affect your application.
