To apply for the removal of spent convictions, you typically need to submit a formal application to the relevant authority or agency in your jurisdiction, such as the police or a court. This process often involves completing specific forms, providing documentation that demonstrates rehabilitation, and sometimes attending a hearing. It's important to check the legal requirements and procedures specific to your area, as they can vary significantly. Additionally, seeking assistance from a legal professional can help navigate the process effectively.
It depends what they were and what country you are in.
Apply for one, and if you get denied, then obviously you can't get one.
A driving offense becomes "spent" after a specific period defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, which allows individuals to move on from certain convictions without them impacting their future. The duration before an offense is considered spent varies based on the severity of the offense, ranging from a few months to several years. For example, minor offenses might be spent after five years, while more serious convictions can take longer. Once an offense is spent, it generally does not need to be disclosed in most situations, such as job applications.
Being limited as to the licensing and jobs you may be able to obtain is part of the consequences you will pay for your past convictions. Better to look for jobs that do not require a clear record.
do the goverment really gives clemency to felon convictions,and if given can a resident apply for citizenship
A basic criminal record check shows information on the individual's unspent convictions (if they have any). The information shown will include the offence, the court and the date.
Until your 18th birthday, whereupon your record will become sealed to the public. This is rubbish - the answer is - convictions stay with you for life! Dont confuse SPENT convictions with all convictions - If a job is exempt from the Rehabilitation ACT - It can go back to your first offence - no matter how old - the only exception is through Royal Pardon - BUT! the police normally do not delete anything and that is the INJUSTICE. If a job is applied for - say in schools or nurseries - then they apply for an ENHANCED CRB and it is always granted - You are therefore stuck with your record till you die. The Rehabilitation Act means you will always be a criminal - Once a conviction becomes spent then you can leave it of the application unless it is Rehabilitation exempt.
A basic CRB check will show any unspent criminal convictions or conditional cautions. It does not show spent convictions, cautions, or other relevant information. The exact information revealed depends on the level of check.
Generally, no. If your convictions were for something defined as a felony under federal law, forget it. If the convictions were for things only felonies under state law, it may be possible to apply for relief of disability.
Depends on the state. But , in most states , convictions stay until YOU or YOUR attorney file for an expungement or seal the file. And even then, some convictions can't be removed. Being CHARGED with a crime also stays unless your attorney filed for expungement at trial or in process, Even if you were acquitted, found innocent , or the charges were dropped by the state. Once again , it depends on your state, but don't assume that it just disappears with time... it doesn't. Depends on the state.

In the UK, a spent conviction will remain on the Police National Computer for life with no means to remove it unless you can successfully appeal the conviction. The offence of 'Soliciting' is on the DBS list of offences that will never be filtered from a DBS check so it will show up on DBS checks forever.
yes, only felony convictions apply. as long as you meet other requirements ie: us citizenship
Probably. Most states report violations to the national database.
