Expungement is a permanent removal of eligible offenses from your record. Suspension may restrict access temporarily but will not completely remove the conviction from your record.
The amount of time it takes will depend on how complicated the case is and how long it takes the government to handle it. On average, it could take a few weeks to a few months.
This will depend on what the convictions were for and how long ago they happened. We will look over your record to see if you meet the requirements for expungement.
No. You must apply for expungement even after a sufficient period of time has passed. Your record will not be cleared until you apply for expungement.
After your expungement is granted, the offense should not appear on standard background checks, and you can truthfully say that you do not have a criminal record with regard to the expunged offense.
Expungement of criminal record refers to the legal process of eligible crimes being erased from your criminal record. Once an offense has been expunged, it will not appear on most background checks, and you will be allowed to state that you have no criminal record with regard to the expunged crime.
