You didn't need to tick civil penalty, you should have ticked that you have a conviction. However, you mentioned it in the form so (depending on the offence) you should be fine, don't worry.

Guru I need your help. I am about to apply for Naturalisation, the problem I have here is that I had a drink driving ban on July 24th 2008. Next month will be five years from now which means it will become spent. I was fined and I moved addresses so I did not pay the court fine on time. I have paid all the amount last month and I am a bit worried that because I delayed in paying my court fine I will have some problem with the NATURILISATION PROCESS. I don't have any cautions or any civil judgements at all. I only defaulted on my court fine and I have paid. will this affect my naturalisation.
