Class "A" misdemeanors are crimes in NYS punishable by up to 1 yr in jail. They are on your record for life, unless expunged by court order; or if the case was "sealed". Check with the Seal and Dispo Unit at the NYS Div of Criminal Justice Services, Four Tower Place, Albany, NY 12203

Expungement essentially eliminates all record of the criminal conviction from public access. Record sealing prevents the public from accessing the record, but still allows for government access. Eligibility requirements for these processes in New York aren't easy and it is not a guarantee that the charge will be removed from your record.

Please note that currently New York State does not allow expungement for cases that resulted in conviction or in which a judicial diversion program was completed. Additionally, certain offenses are not available for record sealing, including certain violent crimes, domestic violence offenses, sex crimes, drug crimes, and other offenses.

If it occurred prior to your 18th birthday it will become a closed record when you turn 18. If you are an adult it never goes away. Your criminal record is running history of any criminal activity you become involved in.

A misdemeanor will stay on your record permanently unless it is expunged. A misdemeanor will not usually hurt your credit or ability to find a job.

A criminal record doesn't 'go away.' The misdemeanor will always be on the record. It is one of the reasons that criminal activities are not good things to participate in.
