A dismisal takes one of two forms. Dismissed WITH prejudice, and dismissed WITHOUT prejudice.

With prejudice means that those specific charges cannot be brought against you again for that particular offense ever again.

Without prejudice means the the state can, if they wish, bring the same charges again.

As far as your record is concerend - the fact that you were arrested will appear on your record but the court dismissal (of whichever type) will also be recorded as the disposition of the charge. It is a permanent record and will not 'go away' unless you file for expungement of the charge.

Do you still have criminal record if order for dismissal is granted?

Yes, an order for dismissal does not wipe out the record. For that you would need to petition the court to have the record expunged. ALSO: A LOT depends on WHAT KIND of dismissal you received. Dismissal WITHOUT prejudice means the same charge can be re-instituted against you again. Dismissal WITH prejudice means that that same charge can't be brought against you again for that particular offense.
