Good Character requirement - Criminal Conviction --- Please Advice

[Issa123]

I am a non EEA family member. I have just received my EEA PR card dated 06/03/2019 but I have acquired Permanent Residence on the 16/03/2018 (confirmed on letter by home office).

I have stopped by police on the 10/04/2014 while driving under the influence of alcohol and found I was over the limit. I was banned from driving at the court for 12 months(it was 12 months reduced to 9 months with the course) and given a fine(May-2014) with a DR10 endorsement on my driving license.

Can I apply for naturalisation on or after the 16/03/2019 ? as it says on policy that after 3 years from Non-custodial sentences you can apply for citizenship but does the fine stays for 5 years on the record? Would DR10 endorsement affect the application as it is there for 11 years from the year 2014. Do I need to add any letters to explain my criminal conviction ??

Please advice

Thanks

you are good to go. one offence nearly 5 years ago wont affect your application that much as long as you fulfill all other requirements which seems like you do.

just make sure to disclose all the details in cover letter with your application.
