I was told that the only thing I need is to my language dimploma. It seems no fine was ever recorded. I don't even know what kind of charges apply to the fine. I was ever asked to return money to 'zorgtoeslag' which turned out to be overpaid to me. I guess that was not counted as a fine.
    It can't just be any fine-- you have to have been convicted of a misdrijf in the last four years (the more serious class of crimes in Dutch law: murder, rape, but also destruction of property and drunk driving, for instance), or have accepted a fine to avoid going to court for that misdrijf. Then your application for naturalization will be rejected.   less
