Disclosure of convictions and civil immigration penalties
Offences and penalties
Relevant offences are the offences listed in Schedule 4 of the Licensing Act 2003.
The meaning of foreign offence is dealt with in section 113 of the Licensing Act 2003.
If you are the holder of a justices' licence and you are applying for a personal licence under regulation 8 of the Licensing Act (Personal licences) Regulations 2005 see paragraphs 23 and 28 in Part 3 of Schedule 8 of the Licensing Act 2003 for the information you are required to give.
If you are convicted of any relevant or foreign offence during the period between when your application is made and when your application is determined or withdrawn, you must notify the authority to which your application was made. Failure to do so without reasonable excuse could lead to prosecution and a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale.
Civil Immigration Penalty
An Immigration penalty means a penalty under either section 15 of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 or section 23 of the Immigration Act 2014.
