If you live in the USA, expungement only means that details of your incident cannot be reported.  Your name can still be punched in, say online and it will show your name and if it was a felony or not.  That is all.\n\nDo not report it because your chances of being found out are much less than the chances of you not getting the job because you did.  Just don't go exposing yourself to anyone at work or you might tip them off to check!  LOL!

Six years isn't long enough to prove she's changed her ways. She shouldn't volunteer the information if they don't specifically ask for it.\nYou can't get a criminal record expunged just because you don't like it. You have to have conclusive evidence to prove you weren't guilty of the crime you were convicted of.

try coming out of prison from robbing 11 banks and getting a job. You have it made compared to me...\nIn the application where it asks if you ever had any criminal convictions------leave it blank. and wait to answer that question during the interview. You're not lying....you're simply choosing not to share that kind of info for others to see.

Well if you request a copy of the record from the company that did the background report,you will find that it contains the F.B.I header in it somewhere.You will also find at the top of the page "It is illegal for a company to deny you employment because of any information contained in this report"(However it doesn't apply to certain Government jobs)So ,therefore the report which is comes from a"government" agengy but,is collected by an independant firm says that if you are denied employment you can sue.

I know in NY they can only verify that you did actually work for the company during the time you stated. No other information can be provided, however, if you provide the new company with your SS# to do a background check they will be able to see all the jobs you've held and the salary/wages you received. IMO, just don't lie, it will come back to haunt you.

No.... even if you get it expunged.. you would have to report it on your application.  And if you lie and put no, they will eventually find out and you will get bounced and maybe charged criminally.

no\n\nJuvenile records are sealed and can only be opened by the government or with a court order.\n\nI think some states expunge and others don't but I do know you can hire an attorney to have any criminal record 'considered' for expunging.

Consult an attorney as it depend on state / federal law and the convictions.  There are different approaches, including sealing the record and/or expungement / vacation.  An attorney will explain how the local/relevant law on these approaches apply to your specific convictions.  Your local bar association will be able to refer you to a qualified attorney.

Here in Texas your record is erased when you turn 18,if you were arrested as a minor.A family member had a felony at 14 years old but was expunged at 18.\nIf you look for a goverment related job,is's going to show up on your record though !

Of course it is still on your criminal record so it will follow you for life.  But on applications or anything like that don't leave it off when it asks if you've been convicted of a crime.  If you don't put it on there and a company hires you they can fire you if they find out.  Just be honest and if they ask, explain the situation.

As others have stated here, you can get your record expunged.  However, there are a few facts you should know.  Expungement does not delete anything from your record.  What it does is update your record to relect that you retroactivly changed your plea to not guilty and judge is setting aside the conviction.  It does not delete the conviction.  Although you should contact an attorney to confirm everything I am saying, what I am saying in most cases will be correct.  What expungement does for you is allow you to fill out the secion on a job application that says have you ever been convicted of anything as a no.  It also gives you a legal basis to sue if you are denied a job, unless the job is for some government agency or a few other cases, based upon an expunged conviction.\n\nThe laws for expungement are different from state to state and county to county.  Check with the self help legal deparment.  Most counties have them.\n\nAlso in most cases you have to have paid your fine and done your probation, if any before you can be granted an expungement.  Also you usually have to wait 1 year after you have resolved all court ordered punishment.

You can pay to get the information from some web sites, but if you don't want to do that just include letter of explanation in the application.  If you do go the pay route and the information does not come up you might not want to disclose the information.  It's up to you because if they find out by some other means or agency you will not be hired or you will be let go when they do find out.  There are many different levels of background checks that employers do.  Think it over.

You can only have the record expunged if you are granted an absolute pardon based on an unjust conviction. If you plead guilty or nolo contendere, you cannot ever have it expunged, even after a pardon.

A "Live Scan" will produce any misdemeanor or felony convictions.  Department of Justice runs them at the request of an employer or self for a fee, sheriffs office can do it too for a fee. Live Scans require he go in and give up a set of finger prints.   \n\nI don't know if your Attorney can get one done on him. If he is young then it could be his record is all juvenile.  Might not be sealed. Go down to the County Hall of Records.  A lot of work!\n\nPS:  When you get your record expunged the information remains on your record if you were an adult.  You have to still admit you were arrested for the crime. Because you had it expunged you are now allowed to say it was "dismissed."  That's all.

Not 100% sure.  The law says they must have a legitimate reason to access your records.  I'm sure they are checking for your last address and employment history.\n\nI'm gonna bet it's legal though.  ;(

You can't. After a number of years you can get your record sealed - depending on the offense, but it is never truly sealed. Governmental agencies have access should they need it. Even if it's a juvenile record.

Hello:\n\nFirst, you'll have to find out if your state offers expungment, and then you'll have to find out if you fit the criteria.  If you do, you'll have to file a motion, most likely in the county where the conviction occurred.  You'll increase your chances of success tenfold if you hire a lawyer.\n\nAn expunged record will still show up for the cops and the courts, but it theoretically is hidden from the public.  \n\nA pardon, on the other hand, does erase it entirely.\n\nexcon
