would be if the offence had been committed here), you should take your own legal advice. If you do not disclose
a conviction which you should have disclosed, you may be prosecuted.
You do not have to disclose convictions which are spent, within the meaning of section 5 of the Criminal Justice

are spent. If you do not disclose a conviction which you should have disclosed, you may be prosecuted.
I make this solemn declaration conscientiously and believe all the statements in it are true.
