If you appeared in court as a defendant and the charges brought against you were filed, dismissed, CWOF (continued without a finding), sealed, etc., you must answer “YES” to the question and provide as much detail as possible. It is your responsibility to inform the licensing authority.
Be advised that if your application is not completed truthfully or accurately, your LTC or FID request will automatically be denied.
