The expungement process differs from state-to-state.
Expungement is a legal term for sealing the criminal
record. By having a criminal conviction expunged,
the conviction will be deemed not to have occurred.
However, in some cases, even an expunged record
is still open for law enforcement purposes. In
addition, applicants campaigning for public office
or applying for a federal job are required to
make their conviction public even if it were expunged.
| 1. |
Even when a conviction
has been expunged it can still be used against
the defendant's sentence if the defendant
is again convicted of a crime. |
| 2. |
Not all convictions are eligible
for expungement. Laws differ state-by-state.
|
| 3. |
In many states defendants can
not expunge felony convictions or sex offenses.
|
| 4. |
Convictions usually cannot
be expunged until one year has passed and
the defendant has completed serving the sentence
or when the probation period has expired.
|
| 5. |
Expungements usually may not
occur if the defendant faces new charges.
|
| 6 |
The federal law does not recognize state court expungement orders. |
| 7. |
Even if a DUI is expunged it will still be considered a priorable offense by the Court and DMV for 10 years |
