UK naturalization background checks what is the meaning? [closed]

In general, it means an application will normally be refused only where the person has attempted to lie or conceal the truth about an aspect of their application, whether on the application form or in the course of enquiries, including where they have knowingly provided false personal details, for example date of birth, name or nationality.

The types of deception or dishonesty considered when assessing good character in citizenship applications are:

Deceitful or dishonest dealings with Her Majesty’s Government

An application will normally be refused where the person has attempted to deceive or otherwise been clearly dishonest in their dealings with another government department.

Examples might include but are not limited to:

• fraudulently claiming or otherwise defrauding the benefits system

• unlawfully accessing services (for example, housing or health care) for which access is controlled by immigration legislation

• providing dishonest information in order to acquire goods or services (for example, providing false details in order to obtain a driving licence)

• providing false or deliberately misleading information at earlier stages of the immigration application process (for example, providing false bio-data, claiming to be a nationality they were not or concealing conviction data).

Failure to disclose information required in a nationality application

Where the applicant fails to disclose information that would result in the application being refused on good character grounds, the application must be refused and any further application for citizenship will normally be refused for the next 10 years. This applies unless it is accepted that the failure to disclose was unintentional and a genuine error.

Deception in previous applications

An application will normally be refused where there is evidence that a person has employed deception either:

• during the citizenship application process • in a previous immigration application in the previous 10 years.

Within the last 10 years means in the 10 years prior to the application for citizenship. For these purposes, the deception is regarded as continuing until the date on which it is discovered or admitted. For example, if a person used deception in an application in 2002, but that was discovered or admitted to in 2011, the 10-year period would start in 2011.
