Best Answer

Look up the website of the county court in the county where you were arrested.

You might be able to look up the record online. Their website might have information about sealing or expunging records or have a form you can fill out and send in. Otherwise you might just call that court and ask. If it is a minor misdemeanor there is a good chance you can have it sealed or expunged. There is usually a fee of about $20-$40 for this. They can always say no so make sure you write a convincing and well-written letter explaining that you have turned your act around and you just want to protect your privacy and not be discriminated against by people including potential employers. Those are all good reasons.

Good luck.

Does time in juvie go on youre permanate record?

Time in custody does not go on a criminal record. Your criminal record shows what you were convicted of and when, not what the punishment was. A conviction of a crime as a juvenile generally doesn't go on a lifetime criminal record. Instead, it is usually held in a sealed record. However, it is sometimes required that the juvenile petition that the record be sealed upon his/her 18th birthday. This depends on the state.

Can you have your record sealed as an adult in nm?

Which record? What record? Any criminal record you may have had as a juvenile is automatically sealed when you turn 18. If you are an adult you can petition the court to have a particular charge "expunged" from your adult criminal record but you must present VERY good reason to the court for requesting it, and even then your request might not be granted. Drivers history, no.
