To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have either been exonerated, acquited, or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth valid reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record. FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: If your request for expungement is granted and you are a resident of a state which completely or partially restores your "rights" (you will have to do your own esearch to learn if this applies to your state), you will still remain subject to whatever restrictions your state laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS - CAUTION: Regardless of what rights your state may restore, if you were convicted in FEDERAL COURT of a FEDERAL FELONY - it is a felony crime for a federally convicted felon to EVER own or possess a firearm. The U.S. Criminal Code, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison in some cases (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). At this time FEDERALLY convicted felons have no solution to their firearm disqualification. Congress has effectively eliminated the review of federally convicted felons' petitions for restoration of their firearms privileges, by denying funding for the purpose.
It is almost impossible to get a felony off your record. The only way to get a felony conviction off your record is to get a pardon.
i was charged with grand theft is there anyway i can get this off my record?
No. A felony from any state remains on your record for life.
no a felony is yours to keep for the rest of your life
Forever now THATS a VERY hard one to get off of your record and its worse then a regular felony too
NEVER it is there forever my brother. Unless you can get it exponged.
yes it does
Felonies are not removed from a criminal record unless the record is expunged.
You can have your record expunged, but it is rarely successful when you were convicted of the crime.
You can never get a felony off your record normally. But you can get a pardon, which doesn't erase the record but by law entitiles you to be treated as if you didn't have one. You would apply to the Governor's Office or an agency created especially for that purpose.
yes it does
