how long do i declare a drink driving ban

[jackthehat]

To whom ?

Does a conviction for drink driving not remain on your licence for 10 years so I would imagine that you would have to declare it for that time. Should the person/company ask to see your licence then it would show up. If its to an insurance company and you lie then you would not be covered by the insurance should anything untoward occur.

For the purposes of applying for most types of employment, and for things like insurance, the following applies:

If you ONLY received a ban (and not a fine or imprisonment), the conviction becomes spent as soon as the ban does.

If you received a ban AND a fine, the conviction becomes spent after 5 years. (That assumes that the ban was for no more than 5 years).

If you received a ban AND a prison sentence, the conviction becomes spent after 7 years (for sentences of up to 6 months) or 10 years (for a longer sentence, of up to 2½ years).

When applying for the types of employment which are exempted from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (such as working with or alongside children or vulnerable adults, or in jobs connected with the administration of justice) convictions are never regarded as spent and must always be declared.

The conviction can't be removed from your licence for 11 years:
