The supporting arrest information and the results of any investigation will still exist. The record of your arrest will exist and the court file documenting your case will continue to exist.
If you are ever asked (e.g.: on an employment form) if you were ever convicted, you rmay truthfully answer, no.
HOWEVER, if the question asks, "Have you ever been arrested," the truthful answer to THAT question is, yes.
If you qualify, and your state has that option, you may wish to look into having your record expunged.

How do you get dismissed charges off your record in Virginia?
Which record? Criminal record or driving record? For CRIMINAL RECORDS: - if they occurred prior to your 18th birthday they will disappear from the public access portion of your record automatically. If you wish, you can file a request to have your record EXPUNGED, but this takes some time and effort and must be done seperately for each individual record you want sealed. For DRIVING RECORDS: they are a running cumulative total of all your driving records since you were first issued one and run for you re entire life. It is not possible to expunge driving records.
