You cannot. Although there IS legislation and a procedure in place to allow federal felons to petition to have their federal criminal records expunged, Congress has consistently refused to appropriate any monies to fund this program. Therefore, although it exists, it is inoperable.

Are you considered a convicted felon until your 4 years of probation are served?

Yes, a person is generally considered a convicted felon for the duration of their probation. Probation is part of the sentencing process and does not erase the felony conviction. After successfully completing probation, the individual may pursue expungement or a reduction of their felony status, depending on the laws in their jurisdiction. However, until that process is completed, the felony conviction remains in effect.

It is not so much that it will erase, it will be sealed. So if someone would do a background check on you this charge will not show on your records. These things can't be held against you as an adult. If you commit a major criminal offense (most times a felony), in certain circumstances, it can be unsealed.

If pardoned of a conviction 25 years ago will it still be on your record?

If you are pardoned for a conviction, the conviction itself may still appear on your criminal record, but it is typically noted that the conviction has been pardoned. The specifics can vary by jurisdiction, as some places may allow for the record to be sealed or expunged after a pardon. It’s important to check the laws in your state or country regarding the visibility of pardoned convictions on your record. Generally, a pardon can restore certain rights, but it doesn't erase the conviction from all records.

How do you clean a felony from your record?

Many criminal convictions can be cleared from an individual's criminal record. This means, under certain circumstances, an individual may ask the court to erase a conviction from your permanent record, in which case, subsequent courts and law enforcement officials may not have access to certain elements of your criminal past. Not everything can be cleared and there are different steps that you must take in order to have the chance to get your conviction cleared. As a general rule, you must have finished your probation term and not have gotten in anymore trouble with the law before being considered for this.

How do you erase you felony records as an adult?

The answer to this will vary depending on what state your conviction record is in. Please be specific when asking questions. Many states allow a felony to be removed from a person's record. Each state has their own procedure and eligibility requirements for expungement of convictions. Accordingly, I would need to know what state your conviction was to answer your question. In general, the process involves petitioning the court where you were convicted and demonstrating that you meet the legal requirements or standards necessary to have your record cleared. If your conviction was in federal court, you cannot have your conviction expunged. However, some states, such as Arizona, will allow you to petition to have all of your civil rights and gun rights restored after a federal conviction. Most counties have a public defender's or legal aid office that will file a petition for record clearance (expungement, vacating, setting-aside, sealing, or whatever it is called in your state) for free-- though most public defenders have a low-income requirement. They may also have packets on how to do it yourself. If you have financial means, I would highly recommend having an attorney handle it for you. However, there are many others. If you are paying someone, just make sure they are licensed attorneys who have experience clearing records. Many attorneys will give a money back guarantee. Also, if you have convictions in multiple states, make sure your attorney understands the record clearing laws in both states because proceeding in the wrong order could cost you your eligibility in one of the states. In other terms you have a zero out of none chance because it will stay on your record for your whole life it also depends what you did and if you won the case then you are good and you don't have a felony record also keep in mind that you have to have one of the best lawyers. *linda*
