I mentioned all of my minor traffic violations while filing n400 but unlike you, I didn't have the receipts as these were over decades ago. I didn't submit any evidence online just mentioned I got the ticket and paid for it. I'm taking my clean driving record in lieu of the paid receipts. Hopefully that doesn't pose an issue. Lets see! My interview is next month  

 

In your case, it's perfectly fine to say you forgot about it and present the certified receipts.  It's Ok to say you forgot about stuff (we're humans after all) and the thing you forgot doesn't disqualify you. For this reason they go through the whole application with you anyway, so don't worry about it. 

Did the traffic violations come up during the interview, and was not having documentation of them an issue?

It does come up because they go through the entire form and ask you all the questions to see if anything has changed since you filed or anything that needs to be corrected.

Yes, I was asked two questions regarding it. 

 

1) Are there anything else beside the speeding tickets?  

2) Do you have proof  that you've already paid for the speeding ticket? 

 

For the first one I answered No as I didn't have anything else (if you do you but forgot to list it earlier you can say that here) and for the second one I said I've obtained my driving record from DMV which is clean. IO was satisfied with the answer and didn't ask to see DMV records and moved on to other parts of the interview. 

 

So to answer your question, it wasn't an issue in my case. It could also depend on the IO though.

Thanks for the reply! I'll go ahead and get my driving record too, because I have no idea how to track down the ticket proof (happened ages ago).

Good day, just for giggles: I was able to track down the the court deposition for a speeding ticket that I received in 2003. It took emailing 6 different court houses within the county in which I was cited. Yes, I'm that particular. To their credit, every court house replied within a day and the offending one sent me a copy of the deposition that showed I had paid the fine and case was closed. I submitted this along with my N400 -  If I fail N400, it wont be for the lack of evidence.

Thanks for sharing!! After I posted, I actually managed to find my receipt from paying the fine in my email. Interesting to know that the court houses actually emailed you back - I hadn't even considered just emailing them. I might do this too just for thoroughness!

Hi All- 

Happy Friday! I applied my N400 in Nov 2019 and was scheduled an interview next month! Very excited. 

However, I completely forgot to mention a speeding ticket I received in 2017 and it was about $450 dollars. Speeding only not related to drugs or alcohol. It was an infraction. Back then, i had an attorney went to court to fight it but it was still ruled guilty. I had to pay the ticket but no points will be on my record.
I paid in full. Have certified court document showing that I paid and also clean dmv record. But I'm pretty worried! Anyone has experience with this when you go to your interview? Is this going to hinder my case?

Thanks in advance for whoever can help!

Hello

 

I was wondering how your interview went?

I have the same issue pretty much and was wondering what happened at your interview?

 

Thank you

Yup, but you still need to mention it on the form where it asked if you have EVER been cited (ie got a ticket). 

[Mike X Man 37]

Exactly. If you paid the traffic ticket (pleaded guilty or no contest) you should also answer YES to the question below.
