Hi there,
I am applying for Naturalization in a week time, I received 2 PCN and 1 ticket for parking in disabled space. All paid on time within 30 days. Can someone please tell me where do declare them under the following headings?
Is it under A penalty for driving offence ... or a civil penalty ?
- A criminal conviction
- A penalty for a driving offence, for example disqualification for speeding or no motor insurance
- An arrest or charge for which you are currently on, or awaiting trial
- A caution, warning, reprimand or other penalty
- A civil court judgment against you, for example for non payment of debt, bankruptcy proceedings or anti-social behaviour
- A civil penalty issued under UK immigration law

So you've had 3 PCNs? What were the other 2 for and were they issued by police? Not sure what you meant with above but generally there is no requirement to declare PCNs.
See Q5

I got 2 PCN from city council for parking and 1 parking charge from UK Parking Control Ltd. All paid immediately. From the guidance its clear they don't have any effect, but not sure if and where I need to declare them?

Many people struggle to understand the difference between FPN and PCN, I do too sometimes. The guidance asks for FPN to be declared, however, to avoid mistakenly falling for deception, I have declared my PCNs under driving offence and clearly stated that they were PCNs when I was making all my previous applications where the question came up (FYI, I had a parking ticket and a bus lane ticket about 6 years ago). So if you want to declare them, go ahead and declare them under the driving offence.
