The most important thing about applying for clearance is that you tell the truth. If you have a driving offence and you dont disclose it, they will find out and your clearance will probably be rejected.

WageSlave1: Don't be silly, she could be ex-KGB, as long as she is not French you are OK. They will interview some people, some interviews are formal, some don't realise they are being interviewed...Comment
