Traffic offence and citizenship application

[Sun236]

Hi
I have very important question i recently applied for citizenship application on the form question no 11.1
I ticked No.

Now my question is i had one traffic offence in 2016 and i had received 1 penalty point which was cleared in 2019.

My solicitor told me to tick No to question no 11.1 but i am confused if its the right answer.

Please reply if anyone can suggest me advice.

Thank you

Of course it needs to be a Yes. There are countless examples where an applicant’s application gets refused after failure to disclose traffic offences. Also, *knowingly* concealing such information is considered fraud.

You need to disclose it. Write a letter of remorse and attach it with your application. Also, find a better solicitor.

Yes, send a letter with a copy of the fine receipt if you have it and explain that you did not mean to hide this nformation. Citizenship application will not be refused if the offence was declared but if it wasn't it will be viewed as not being of good character.

hi just curious if someone's receives points well after second stage letter ( nearly 2 years file already in the system), does he still owes responsibility to mention it or department would consider him/her (if find out themselves) a bad character and refuse his application?

I would be greatly appreciate it if moderator of this group can shed some light of their knowledge?

Garda vetting will be carried out repeatedly while your application is in progress. Many people have been asked to provide vetting more than once. If they find this out by themselves instead of from you, it will be treated as bad character.
