Fixed penalty notice A801 and ilr application

[Freeman78]

Hi All. I would be verY grateful if you can answer my query below please?

I received an on spot fixed penalty notice for driving without insurance (FPNA801) last week which I paid for and have also produced my licence at the local police station to be endorsed with 6 penalty points. I am told that due to this being an FPN I will not have to go to court as I already paid the fine and accepted the penalty points to go on the licence.

Now my ILR (10 years long residence) is due in December and reading all the relevant posts I have lost the hope...
1)My question is do I have to declare the issued FPN as reading the guidance suggest that I do no have to declare the FPN's however the severity of the offence dictates that I need to be honest and come out clean?

2) if I do declare the FPN do I stand a chance of getting ILR?

I have never had any other FPNs or any other points on the licence in last 10years. Your Advise will be much appreciated.

See Criminality threshold.

Declare it if you wish to, an FPN will have no effect on the outcome of the application. Declaring it will help you at least to not be worried about not disclosing a fact - so no harm in being honest.

any one with the same FPN? driving without insurance?

an FPN is an FPN. don't matter which is it so as long as you didn't let it get to the court you are ok.
