Yes. For an absolute discharge no record may be disclosed after one year from the discharge date. If the discharge is conditional, no record may be disclosed after three years. The CPIC database is purged of discharge records when the specified times periods have passed. Once an individual does not attempt to cross the border during the specified time periods where the U.S. Border Check Officers can retrieve the information from the CPIC database, the individual can cross border.
