When it relates to an adult criminal convictions including misdemeanors remain a permanent part of an individual's record. It is possible in some cases to have a misdemeanor removed for purposes of the convicted person becoming gainfully employed. This does not mean that the entry is permanently erased, only that its accessiblility is limited. The removal of the entry would depend upon the severity of the crime, the time that has expired since the commission, whether or not the convicted person has other criminal convictions and/or a history of problems with authorities.
I am not aware of any state that that removes the fact that a person has a felony on their record. If it is there I believe that it will remain there for the rest of your life. Only juveniles have the ability to request a court seal their record. Once it is there it is there forever. Remember, You cant' change history, it is what it is. But you can change your future by your own actions.
Unless the offense occurred prior to your 18th birthday, criminal records are a permanent party of your history. They are not like drivers license points and 'go away' after a certain length of time.
A misdemeanor or any crime will stay on your record indefinitely unless it is removed. You can usually have a misdemeanor expunged.
No. A felony from any state remains on your record for life.
yes
No. You are forbidden to legally posess a firearm and your record always follows you.
Every state has an expungement statute and if you qualifyyou may have one offense removed from your record.
If it was a federal charge, no. If it was a state charge, and you have never been convicted of any previous felony - perhaps. See below link for further information:
A felony charge/conviction stays on your criminal record forever. Petition the court to have your record "expunged" and it should be accompanied by good reason(s) that it should be granted. After consideration, it may or may not be granted.
Felony charges ANYWHERE never go away unless they are legally "expunged."
Can a felony form your record be removed in the state of Florida
It all depends on; the charge - the amont of drugs - the type of drugs - your past criminal record - and if the charge is state or federal.
Felony Charges Stay in your Specific State Permanently. They will also stay in your background for good too no matter if the Felony has been set aside from a Suspended Sentence or not. If you qualify under your state's law, you may want to try to get the Felony Charge Expunged later on down the road if you haven't committed any crime since the felony offense.
If a person was charged with a felony but has not been charged with any new crimes for 5 years after being released, they can petition the courts to have their record sealed. Felony convictions for SVU crimes cannot be sealed though.
If the offense occurred after your 18th birthday, it will always appear on your criminal history.
