How Can I Get an Expungement Application?
Expungement refers to a process where criminal records are sealed. This allows an individual to treat the conviction as if it never occurred in many instances, including employment applications. Expunged records are typically still viewable by law enforcement agencies and the court system and are still considered for certain types of employment, such as becoming a police officer or FBI agent. An expungement can only be granted by a judge.
