Unless the the offense occurred prior to your 18th birthday, it will always remain a part of your criminal record. There is a method in most states to remove a criminal record through "EXPUNGEMENT." To request an expungement: You must have served the complete term of your sentence - then submit a petition to the court setting forth good reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being viewed by the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your complete 'actual' record.
