It does not matter if you have a conviction unrelated to driving,you must declare it and it may increase the cost of your insurance.

Do insurance companies check driving convictions?
Yes, car insurance companies will check your driving convictions. When you apply for insurance you will usually be asked to disclose any convictions from the past five years.
Do I have to disclose driving convictions?
You should always disclose any driving convictions that you have on your record when you are looking for car insurance. Car insurance providers will likely be able to find out about any driving convictions you have, so you should be honest when asked.
What happens if you don’t declare driving convictions on insurance?
If you fail to declare driving convictions, most insurance companies will be able to find out and it may invalidate your contract and result in your insurance being cancelled. You must disclose all information an insurer asks for to avoid any issues further down the line. Your insurer has the right to cancel your insurance at any time, especially if you not disclosed driving or criminal convictions.
Can a banned driver get insurance?
Some insurance companies will not insure drivers who have been banned in the past. They do not want to take the risk involved in insuring a previously banned driver. However, you will still be able to find insurance through some insurers and there are companies who specialise in insurance for convicted and previously banned drivers.
