What is Record Expungement?
Record expungement is the process of having your criminal record sealed from public view. It doesn’t erase your arrest or conviction, but it does mean that no one except certain government officials can see your record. As far as the public is concerned, the arrest, detention, criminal investigation, or conviction never happened.
Benefits of a Records Expungement:
- An Expunged record will still exist but it will be sealed
- You can say you have not been convicted of a misdemeanor or a felony on job or housing applications
- Expungement does not restore civil rights, as those are usually restored through pardons.
A sealed record still exists, it is not deleted but it’s no longer publicly accessible in the same way as a normal criminal record.
