Would you disclose a Traffic fine in your citizenship application?

[Red Rose]

Hi guys,

If you guys had already submitted a citizenship application (with no conduct offences), would you disclose a subsequent parking / traffic fine to the department (which attracts no demerit points) just to be on the safe side in terms of transparency?

Thanks

Probably not a bad idea - transparency always good; however, if there's no caution or court appearance involved, absolutely no idea on whether that'd be required.  Better safe than sorry, but an agent will no doubt give sound advice on whether there's a  requisite to disclose.

Even if you don't need to, I don't think you'd upset anyone by volunteering the information, though?

I think there is no need, I think you be strict to the questions and answer accordingly. Perhaps parking fines are not to be mentioned unless or otherwise they are being asked. You can also clarify from the immigration department on phone.

No. If you are going to clarify with anyone, use a registered agent, not the DOHA contact line

DHA officers are likely to tell you the first silly thing that comes to mind. 

If you have nothing better to do try contacting them repeatedly and see how many different answers you receive.
