An expungement is the removal of an infraction from your criminal history background. Under normal circumstances, any offense you have committed, even after you have served your penalty, can appear on a record that can be found through background searches. When you apply for a job or a loan, these records can come back to haunt you. This may be the case even if an offense was eventually dismissed.
Expungement is really an erasure of your criminal record. With a successful expungement, the criminal offense disappears, as if it never happened. It won’t show up on employee background checks or any criminal background checks. Only a judge can order expungement, and only some offenses and situations qualify. To find out if your offense or offenses are among them, first use an online background check service to find out what your criminal record looks like and if you are eligible for expungement. If you are eligible, you can use online services to find out what forms you need to fill out and submit to petition for expungement. Once the correct forms are filed, it’s up to the judge. If the judge finds in your favor, your record will be expunged and your background (assuming you have no infractions other than the expunged ones) will be clear.
