Penalty Points on Driving licence and Naturalization

[zafarzafar]

Hi All,
After the naturalization refusal of Obanta2009 i wana ask few questions, if some body can help please.

I have 2 penalty points on my driving licence which would be removed after 3 years (the removal date of 2 penalty points would be Feb 2011), beside the penalty points i was fined 60 Euros. which i have paid straight. (the reason of penalty points and 60 Euro was use of mobile phone while i was driving).

According to the law, penalty points would stay on your driving licence for 3 years and after 3 years they would be automatically removed.

Secondly, i was fined twice 40 Euros for wrong parking, which i have paid. On all the occassions no court case have filed.

So my question is : would there be any problem if i apply for naturalization in 2012 where my penalty points would be removed by than, also would the 40 Euro fine be a problem which i have paid on 2 seperate occassions ?

Any advise/help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Don't worry about that zafarzafar. I got the citizenship with 4 points on my licence. Penalty points and fines do not affect citizenship applications.

Good luck

12.1 says commited any offences - you didnt intentionally commit it and its not a major crime

12.2 says convicted means you have been convicted in court

I heard someone was refused naturalisation based on being convicted and fined for not having a TV licence? Can this be true? Is it criminal??

[dublin3]

I am not sure about someone's refusal but I am sure that if you don't pay TV licence then you need to go to court and court gives you fine and I think its conviction.

[dublin3]

If This is a criminal then I think not paying the TV licence as well..

Yes this is an offence and it may affect the naturalisation application as in this case
