UK Police Check

[bearnova64]

On the form asking for my police record it is poorly worded about declaring spent convictions. I did have a couple of speeding penalty points on my licence years ago but for some years have had a clean licence so for the purposes of applying to get my police record can I say on the application form that I have a clean record? Which I do! If they want all the dates of the speeding offences which have long since expired and dropped off my licence I simply do not have them as cannot recall them as so long ago and I have tried to get the Drivers agency in the UK to help and they said they could not assist!? So I cannot see how I could trace these dates of the speeding offences anyway from years ago!

Penalty points for speeding aren't considered a criminal conviction and don't need to be declared.

I did about 25 years ago get a 1 week ban from driving for speeding on a motorway and I assume I do not need to declare this either ?

Still not a criminal conviction

What you declare on the application form won’t affect what appears on the certificate.
