Can juvenile records be expunged?
For most offenses, yes. Juvenile delinquency records can typically be expunged after the juvenile reaches 18 years of age, and five years have passed since the most recent case was terminated. Records can also be expunged faster at the discretion of the District Attorney (i.e. a juvenile found under the court’s jurisdiction for MIP of Alcohol at age 17 with no previous or subsequent delinquent behavior may be able to have his/her record expunged at age 18 without having to wait five years).
