you have to be one hundred percent honest in your application form. i paid ten quid at local police station and got my crimeial record sent to me. i transfered word for word my history. i found out too, there is a spent time after the crime is commited, 1year after non prisonable offences, more time depending on sentences inside. i have drug dealing history and also lied on oath. this didn't affect me. i was accepted.
