You will need to tell us if you have more than one conviction in certain circumstances.
Some convictions can be classed as minor convictions. These minor convictions are as follows:
-
Convictions for motoring offences in the District Court excluding any offence for dangerous driving.
-
Convictions for minor public order offences in the District Court for offences under the following legislation:
- Section 37A of the Intoxicating Liquor Act 1988, or
- Section 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8A(4) or 9 of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act, 1994
For the purposes of this guidance we will refer to all other convictions, as non-minor convictions.
Please take note of the following if you have more than one conviction which meet the criteria 1-5 in Q2 above:
-
If you have two (or more) non-minor convictions, then none of your convictions are deemed spent, and you must tell us about all of your convictions, including convictions for minor offences.
-
If you have one non-minor conviction, together with one or more minor conviction(s), then you do not need to tell us about any of these convictions.
-
If you have no non-minor convictions, but have minor convictions, then you do not need to tell us about these minor convictions.
