Best Answer

If it was only a CIVIL COURT restraining order, it will not appear on your criminal record.

HOWEVER, if there was any criminal action associated with it, or which was the cause for it being issued, (e.g.: domestic battery), THAT is a criminal matter and it WILL appear on your criminal record.

How long do restraining orders last?

Each state enacts laws pertaining to such issues. In some jurisdictions the entry will remain until it (ORS, NCO, DVPO, WPO etc.) is vacated by the court.

My understanding is a restraining order has to be renewed every three years?or less according to the Judge that made the order. Check with your local court recorders office or your local family law facilitator.
