Received speeding fine via SJPN but no conviction code - is this
normal procedure?

Hello All
I was convicted of speeding (70mph in a 50mph zone) for which I
was given a SJPN. I pleaded guilty via an online submission and
was notified via online and via post that I have been given a
fine (I have paid the fine in full). I spoke to my insurer today
to inform them that I had been convicted of speeding and fined
and my insurer asked me for a conviction code but I cant see any
conviction codes on any of the paperwork from the court. How do
i find out what the conviction code is? do i need to ring the
court? where do i go from here? can anyone help or advise?
thanks in advance

There is no such thing as a "conviction code". What they want is
the "endorsement code" which is something given by the DVLA,
not the court when they endorse your licence. If you were
speeding in a car on an ordinary road (not a motorway), the code
will be SP30.
If you check your driving licence details on the DVLA website,
it should show the code.

I’ve checked my record on the dvla website and there is no
endorsement code listed on there. Does it take a while for the
endorsement to get put on the DVLA website?

Is that a rhetorical question?

Nope. I assumed I would find the endorsement code listed on my
record on the DVLA website but there is nothing listed. So I am
completely confused

Just tell them you do not yet know as the DVLA hasn't applied it
to your licence yet. What does your policy say about notifying
them? It is immediately or at renewal?
Personally I would wait until the points are added to my licence
and then tell them, assuming it couldn't wait until the renewal
date.
How did you end up with a SJPN rather than a £100 COFP?

Thanks for the info BertB.
I was doing 70mph in a 50mph zone. The police who stopped me for
speeding said I would get a FPN of 3 points and £100 fine,
however, the people reviewing my offence in the ticket office
decided my speeding was too excessive for a FPN and had to be
dealt with through the courts via a SJPN. Thats the gist of it
from what I understand

It should have been a fixed penalty up to 75mph.
Edit. Although it will be pointed out that there is no right to
a COFP. It does seem strange to break from the norm
