Best Answer

Expungement means the same thing everywhere. It means to remove something from a criminal arrest or conviction record.

To determine what is eligible for expungement in California, speak with a California licensed attorney.

Added: In re: Criminal offense records - - expungement only applies to the "the public's" access to your record. Law enforcement, the courts, and agencies of the government will still have access to it.

It prevents members of the general public from gaining access to information that you were convicted of a particular crime. HOWEVER - it does not prevent the courts, law enforcement, government agencies, or organizations that conduct background investigations for government security clearances from getting access to it.
