In your accompanying letter state you do not know the exact date. I have no idea if you have to state convictions as a minor. As long as you did not murder someone or traffic in drugs in the last 10 years you should be OK. There is a list of convictions with the effect on your MMD somewhere on this website. Find it.

Include a separate written statement with as much information as you remember. If you don’t remember the dates, say that and make yor best estimate of when.

Thank you gentleman, that makes me feel much at ease. So just one letter for all my convictions or a separate letter for each? I think I might have read that somewhere.
