Settled and pre-settled status for EU citizens and criminal record

According to the guidelines for the "Settled and pre-settled status for EU citizens" scheme
https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families/applying-for-settled-status

If you have criminal convictions

If you’re 18 or over, the Home Office will check you have not committed serious or repeated crimes, and that you don’t pose a security threat.

You’ll be asked about your criminal history in the UK and overseas. You’ll also be checked against the UK’s crime databases.

If you’ve only been convicted of a minor crime, for example you’ve had a speeding fine, you’ll still be eligible for settled or pre-settled status.

You may still get settled or pre-settled status even if you have other convictions. This will be judged on a case-by-case basis.



As I explained in one of my earlier threads, I'm not 100% sure what my criminal record is.

Will the Home Office use the PNC or other records? What should I declare as my criminal record?

Thanks.

Well done, that must be a relief for you.

On British citizenship, you should take the full year to consider whether you want to elect to be English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish - if you have friends from any of those countries, I'm sure they wil try and convince you theirs is the best!

If Scotland was independent, I'd hurry up and claim citizenship right now. I'd walk to Aberdeen barefoot (way more than 500 miles from here!).

Same here!

The most beautiful part of the UK (one of the most beautiful places in the world), brilliant people and by far the most sensible place politically.

I've heard it said that New Zealand was created to compensate antipodeans for being so far from Scotland.... Wink
