Once I get an expungement, are my juvenile records “off-limits” to everyone?
No. Law enforcement agencies, the Department of Corrections, State’s Attorneys and other prosecutors can still consider your juvenile records with regards to employment, even if they have been expunged. The military can too. Also, private companies that do background checks may be able to get your juvenile records, even after they have been expunged. Still, expungement is an important step towards making sure you are not shut off from future opportunities.
