This is determined by state law, but is generally several years, and may also depend on the crime.
Added: In addition to the above - at the VERY LEAST you must have satisfactorily completely satisfied the entire length of your sentence and no longer be under any kiind of supervision or restrictions.

I received a felony in Wisconsin this week how soon can you try to have it taken off your record and how do you go about it i live in minnesota also what are the consequences of what you can and can?
The only thing that will remove a felony arrest and/or conviction from your record is to have your record expunged. You must submit a petition/motion to the court system in which you were convicted, stating your reason(s) and giving good reason(s) why the record should be expunged. If you were convicted and are currently serving the sentence you cannot do this until after your sentence is completed. Expungement will only remove the record of your arrest and conviction from the the PUBLIC record, only law enforcement will have access to that portion of your ciminal history. Expungement IS NOT A PARDON, you will still be a convicted felon and you will not get your "rights" restored.
How long to get a felony off your record to get a job in Utah?
If you have just one or 1-3 that were at the same time, you can petition any time to have the record sealed or expunged. Both terms are identical. Some states have specific rules of clemency and you'll have to check that out. Florida for example, as soon as your released from prison, your rights are restored provided all restitution and fines are paid. Keep this in mind, even though you can have a record sealed or expunged, doesn't really erase it. It can be "hid" from public view but you always have a FBI Felony History.
How do you have a felony conviction removed in Texas?
If the person was convicted of the felony as an adult the entry on his or her criminal record is permanent and cannot be expunged. But there is a process in Texas law called Non Disclosure which allows someone to have the "effect" of expunction. That person can deny legally having a record. The laws changes in 2005 to allow a group of felonies to be eligible. Some convictions are eligible to be cleared as soon as you complete deferred probation. Generally if you we're given prison time or regular probation. You may not be eligible under Texas law to have those records cleared. There are companies and lawyers that specialize in this service. If it the conviction was on federal charges in federal court, you cannot expunge the conviction. Your only option will be to apply for a pardon from the president of the United States.
When does a felony charge show up on your record?
It is never simply "dropped" off your record. after you do your time and/or probation and/or pay your fines, you can request to have it removed from your record. Usually, the longer you wait while maintaining GOOD and LAWFUL behavior with no further legal trouble, the more likely they are to grant you your request. Don't count on it though. it largely depends on the nature of the felony and how long it has been.When applying for jobs, however, it is a slightly different story.. it may be different in each jurisdiction, but here in Washington State, employers can only look at your convictions for the past 7 years for MOST jobs. if it's been longer than 7 years and you're applying for a job, you MORE THAN LIKELY don't have to worry about it showing up. but again, this depends on the position you're applying for.Added: The process the initial contributor is trying to describe is known as expungement. An expungement is not a pardon. If you are successful in petitioning to have your felony record expunged (all states are different in this regard - and states are incapable of expunging federal charges) that part of your record will be closed to public scrutiny. However, law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always remain capable of gaining access to it for their purposes.

When will a felony charge show up on your record in the state of Michigan?
A felony is forever. Crimes are not removed from the record during the lifetime of someone that has been convicted of a crime. It is one of the reasons they shouldn't commit crimes! At least they don't brand or maim anymore, though they still do in some parts of the world. People do make mistakes. But, there is a thing called expungement. If the crime was not one of violence and if you stay out of trouble and prove to the court that you are not a career criminal, you may have your record deleted.
