What Is Expungement and Record Sealing?
Expungement & Record Sealing

Having a criminal record can create significant obstacles in life, from employment opportunities to housing and even personal relationships. Fortunately, the legal process of expungement or record sealing can help eligible individuals clear their record, allowing them to move forward without the stigma of a past mistake.

Both expungement and record sealing can provide a vital opportunity to rebuild your life free from the burden of a criminal history.

Benefits of Expungement and Record Sealing
Employment Opportunities:
Employers often conduct background checks. A sealed or expunged record won’t show up, significantly improving job prospects.
Enhanced Privacy:
Your past mistakes are no longer accessible to the public, ensuring you’re judged for who you are today.
Housing Access:
Many landlords deny applicants with a criminal record. Expungement or sealing removes this barrier.
Educational Opportunities:
Colleges and universities may look into applicants’ criminal histories, making record clearing critical for furthering education.
Peace of Mind:
Moving forward without the constant reminder of your past is invaluable for personal growth and mental well-being.
Who Is Eligible for Expungement or Record Sealing in Florida?

Eligibility depends on several factors, including:

  • The type of offense committed.
  • Whether you were adjudicated guilty or not.
  • The time elapsed since the offense.
  • Whether you have previous offenses on your record.

In Florida, you are allowed to expunge or seal only one criminal record in your lifetime. If you have multiple eligible records, you must select just one for expungement. However, if multiple cases stem from the same arrest, the court may permit the expungement of your entire criminal history record.

Most courts require record to be sealed for a year prior to being expunged.

Common offenses that may qualify include misdemeanors, non-violent felonies, and cases where charges were dismissed or you were found not guilty.

Certain serious crimes, such as sexual offenses or violent crimes, may not be eligible.
