Traffic infractions and Citizenship

 Share

Recommended Posts

A couple of months ago I was pulled over for driving my car with expired inspection sticker (oversight on my part, got it done right after). Today was my traffic court date - the fine was reduced from $30 to $20, which I paid today. There are no driving points lost and it doesn't show up on my driving record, but it might show up on court records. Is this something I should be worried about for Citizenship? I plan on applying in the next few months.

The N400 is an online application. You'll be asked many questions including about any traffic or other infractions. You'll have to answer yes and explain in the boxes presented. As long as you paid the fine, it won't have any bearing on the approval of your application.

Same question here. I got a minor traffic infraction in California  - I pleaded guilty to go to traffic school. I signed up for some school called best online traffic school that promised they would mask my traffic ticket and so it would not be on my public driving record and insurance companies couldn't see it. How does this affect my N400 application??? 

 

Thanks your for help

So I have had two tickets, I TOTALLY didn't read the question on the N400 that said about citations. It didnt cross my mind about a ticket, so I clicked NO. 

 

Anyone else done the same and then been ok during interview!??!?!
