Hello,

We are living in Finland for long time. We are eligible to apply for Finnish citizenship. Before applying I would like to check how many crime history is still actively or visible. I committed few minor crime such as traveling in train without ticket, park car in wrong place, over speed driving. But I paid all the penalties on time. I think all these crimes are recorded and will be check by immigration authority. Also these crime should have a validity period. It won't be hanging forever. I heard there is online service to check crime history. It has both paid and free service. So could you please inform me the address. I would like to check it before I apply. Also how dose this minor crime effects while applying for Finnish citizenship?

Traveling without a ticket and parking issues are unlikely to have an effect. Did you get daily fines for speeding?

You are not entitled to check your criminal history for this purpose.

"I committed few minor crime such as traveling in train without ticket, park car in wrong place, over speed driving."

As far as I can tell none of these are entered into criminal record. If this is all, your slate is likely if not certain to be clean. Then again Finland is extremely lenient w.r.t criminal record, hell even convicted rapists have faced no trouble attaining citizenship.

I don't think your last statement is correct.
