Yes it is, I recently had a felony expunged and it doesn't show up on my criminal history. But, only certain felonies will fall under these guideline's and you might have to go through a long process to remove it.
If it was expunged by court order, the record will not available to the general public. But the 'true' record is still available to the courts, law enforcement, and government agencies.
If your criminal record is expunged of the felony you should be able to pass a background check by most private employers. The publicly accessible part of your record would no longer have that record available to them. Your restrictions would come in the area of those jobs requiring you to be bonded or possess a security clearance (e.g.: government contractor) - and any type of employment with an agency of government would probably also be ruled out. Government agencies, the court system, and law enforcement will always be able to access your 'true' record.
If you were charged as a juvenile, your juvenile record will automatically become sealed to the general public whn you reach your 18th birthday. HOWEVER - the courts, law enforcement, and government agencies will ALWAYS have access to your true record even if you get it expunged.
Maybe not - it all depends on what type of position you are trying for, and what the background requirements might be. 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.
Yes, if it is expunged it's like it never happened and will not come up on a background check. this is not true if u live in a state like i do in ohio u have a sealed record that they can still see.
You will have to check with your own particular state's laws on this. Some states will expunge Domestic Violence convictions and some won't. Even if the offense is expunged that does not mean it 'disappears,' it only means that the general public won't be able to see it. Law enforcement, the courts and government agencies will still have access to your "true" record and that may prove to be your stumbling block to firearms ownership.
No, it's not true. An attorney can help you get a conviction expunged, but it will cost more than $400.
Normally as long as the person has no felony record, they can own a firearm. A case sealed or expunged has the same effects as not having occurred in the first place. So, in short, the answer is yes.
I think 7 years. Above incorrect, It will stay on your record until after death, unless you get it sealed or expunged. Only juvenile cases are subject to sealing, and only a citation for public intoxication is expungeable in Iowa. "Only a citation for public intoxication is expungeable in Iowa." Not true. I received a citation for disorderly conduct when I was a stupid sophomore at Iowa. It was expunged from my record after 6 months of good behavior. To be clear, the charges weren't dropped. But six months after the conviction it was expunged.
Not to civilians or businesses which are doing routine background checks. Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being viewable by the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record.
False
If the person was convicted of the felony as an adult the entry on his or her criminal record is permanent and cannot be expunged. But there is a process in Texas law called Non Disclosure which allows someone to have the "effect" of expunction. That person can deny legally having a record. The laws changes in 2005 to allow a group of felonies to be eligible. Some convictions are eligible to be cleared as soon as you complete deferred probation. Generally if you we're given prison time or regular probation. You may not be eligible under Texas law to have those records cleared. There are companies and lawyers that specialize in this service. If it the conviction was on federal charges in federal court, you cannot expunge the conviction. Your only option will be to apply for a pardon from the president of the United States.
