Does expunged mean record is erased?

In Georgia an arrest that never resulted in a conviction can be expunged, if the charges were dropped for good reason and not just a legal technicality.If an arrest record is expunged, that means only government agents and officials will be able to see it, but when they see it's "expunged" they should know not to hold it against you in any way. Other levels of criminal history checks done for non-government reasons (like a pre-employment check) will not show any record at all, with no indication that an arrest took place but was later expunged.Added: The short answer is NO, it simply becomes "invisible" to members of the general public.Add'l: Expunged criminal records WILL count against you if you are the subject of background check for a national security clearance.

How long does a criminal record stay on file in the courthouse public records when the record came into existence when the person was an adult?

A criminal record, on file, in the public records, and not sealed, is on record forever; unless, for some statutory reason, particular to a jurisdiction, that record is expunged (removed, generally, marked or whited-out). Just about every state in the US has provisions for the removal of certain criminal records which meet specific requirements. Most states have a way out depending on the crime or if you had deferred adjudication probation. In Texas felonies can be sealed non disclosed in 5 years, misdemeanors 2 years or immediately. So you have to do some research and dig into what's your states law.
