Traffic violation record New York

[Quarknase 1,072]

Hi All,

Hoping some fellow Citizenship applicants can help :)

I read on here that old traffic tickets need to be shown at the Citizenship interview. I received two tickets (one dismissed, one paid/accepted the point without objections) some years back - probably 2015 or 2016.

Does anyone here know how to obtain the record for those from NYS? Note that I moved since, so I'd like to avoid traveling to NY if possible at all.

I found the option to purchase a "driver record" from DMV, but am concerned that that's not exactly what USCIS is looking for. Anyone who knows more?

Are they more than $500 ea? If not, you don't have to provide documentation.

Really? That would be great. Do you have a source for that?

7. If I have been convicted of a crime but my record has been expunged, do I need to write that on my application or tell a USCIS officer?

 

Yes. You should always be honest with USCIS about all:

•Arrests (even if you were not charged or convicted);

•Convictions (even if your record was cleared or expunged);

•Crimes you have committed for which you were not arrested or convicted; and

•Any countervailing evidence, or evidence in your favor concerning the circumstances of your arrests, and/or convictions or offenses that you would like USCIS to consider.

 

Even if you have committed a minor crime, USCIS may deny your application if you do not tell the USCIS officer about the incident. Note that unless a traffic incident was alcohol or drug related, you do not need to submit documentation for traffic fines and incidents that did not involve an actual arrest if the only penalty was a fine less than $500 and/or points on your driver’s license.
