    SC Security Questionaire, few questions

    Hi All,

    I got a contract recently in a government organization that requires Security Clearance. I'm currently filling out the online form but have few questions.

    In the CRIMINAL CONVICTION section, I need to list my convictions.

    I've had numerous speeding tickets and driving conviction of jumping a red light in the past 19 years of driving. I can't remember all the details of these convictions and also don't know the years and months of them. Is there anywhere I can get all the list of my convictions so that I can accurately fill them out in the SC form?

    Also, in the CURRENT EMPLOYMENT section, can I just fill out that I'm a director of my company for the past 15 years without listing out individual IT Contracts that I carried out in the last 5 years?

    Not sure if the form has changed but my one excluded speeding tickets (doesn't help with red light offenses unfortunately).

    14a: "....ANY offence in ANY country (excluding parking and speeding, but including all other motoring offences....."

      Thanks David,

      But how do I list all my court convictions since I don't know\can't remember the dates and details of these case?

        Make you best guess and explain your reasons you are a little vague as to when and why in the "additional information" area. Key thing is not to miss any.

        They will know all the answers anyway: they are not asking for you to tell them, but for you to tell them as truthfully as you can...

          Should be on your car insurance paperwork if you kept it...

              Speeding offences don't count. Non-speeding do - tell them as many as you can and explain that you have so many that you can't remember them all.

              They know what you've done. It's whether you are prepared to tell them that that's important.

                Don't driving offences count if they stick you in prison?

                  Yes.

                  The form says that speeding offences should not be included but other motoring offences should be declared. If I'd been in prison for a speeding offence, then I would probably declare that as well, just for the sake of making certain.

                    Surely DVLA will provide details they keep on file if you make DPA request?
