Record Sealing vs. Expungement: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to getting a criminal record cleared, there are two options available: expunging and sealing. Both processes help to keep your criminal record private and protect you from discrimination in areas such as employment or housing. However, they do have some important differences.
What Is Expungement?
Expungement is the process of completely destroying a criminal conviction from a person’s record, as if it never happened. In this case, all records of the conviction are erased and destroyed, including any fingerprints or photographs taken at the time. Expungement is only available in some cases and states and can be difficult to obtain.
What Is Record Sealing?
Sealing a criminal record means that the public no longer has access to it. The conviction is still on the person’s criminal record and they must still disclose it if asked, but law enforcement agencies and certain employers will not be able to see it. This process also varies by state and can be difficult to obtain as well.
Should I Seek an Expungement or Record Sealing?
Overall, both expunging a criminal record or sealing it can help to protect you from discrimination and allow you to move forward with your life. It’s important to consult with an experienced expungement lawyer in Jacksonville to understand the process for each option in order to make an informed decision about which one is best for you.
