If it was only a CIVIL COURT restraining order, it will not appear on your criminal record.

HOWEVER, if there was any criminal action associated with it, or which was the cause for it being issued, (e.g.: domestic battery), THAT is a criminal matter and it WILL appear on your criminal record.

How long do restraining orders last?

Each state enacts laws pertaining to such issues. In some jurisdictions the entry will remain until it (ORS, NCO, DVPO, WPO etc.) is vacated by the court. Restraining orders are not usually not open public records and are available to "those persons with need to know" and at the discretion of the issuing judge. My understanding is a restraining order has to be renewed every three years?or less according to the Judge that made the order. Check with your local court recorders office or your local family law facilitator.


If a restraining order is dropped what happens?

If a restraining order is dropped, the legal protections it provided are no longer in effect, meaning the individual who was previously restricted can now have contact with the protected person without legal consequences. The court may formally record the dismissal, and both parties are typically notified. It's important for the protected person to remain cautious, as the underlying issues that led to the restraining order may still exist.
