How long will a felony stay on your record in Indiana?

Answer 1

Chances are, like in most states, a felony will be on your criminal record for life. There are exceptions to this rule when the governer of your state expunges your record. In many states a felon cannot carry a firearm or hunt, but in many instances if you go several years without getting into trouble and you petition for expungement you can get the felony hidden from public records, but only in some cases (NON VIOLENT) felonies will this work.

Answer 2

Criminal charges NEVER go away in ANY state, they are with you FOREVER, unless the individual files a request with the court to have them 'expunged.'

Answer 3

It will always be a permanent part of your criminal history record.
