There is no single answer to your question.  The laws of each state are different.  In most states, you will have to file an appropriate petition with the court and the court might hold a hearing.  If you amend your question to identify the state where you live, an attorney from you state might be able to answer more specifically.

You don't.\n\nWell, you theoretically can, but under rare circumstances -- you have to either (a) be dead for three years;   or (b) be age 70 and have been clean for 10 years following end of sentence.\n\nArrest records that did not result in a conviction can be expunged and those expungements are commonplace.  But if there's a conviction, 18 Pa. CSA Section 9122(b) provides:\n\n"(b) Generally.--Criminal history record information may be expunged when: \n\n"an individual who is the subject of the information reaches 70 years of age and has been free of arrest or prosecution for ten years following final release from confinement or supervision; or \n"an individual who is the subject of the information has been dead for three years."\n\nNote the use of "may" above.  A judge is not required to sign the expungement order when there is a conviction, but is permitted to if so moved.

I would think anything is possible. Wouldn't it be in your case file? Have you had the record expunged? If not, you should be able to get it from the courts. BTW...just wondering, did you like that pic or something? I'm not picking on you, it just seems weird that someone would want to have their mugshot!

Consult an attorney as it depend on state / federal law and the convictions.  There are different approaches, including sealing the record and/or expungement / vacation.  An attorney will explain how the local/relevant law on these approaches apply to your specific convictions.  Your local bar association will be able to refer you to a qualified attorney.

Go to court and ask for the documents.  They're, for the most part, public record.  However, many cases are settled without any formal notation of the settlement with the Court.

This same thing happened to me once and here is what you do:\nSend them a CERTIFIED LETTER that proves that they personally signed for. This only costs 60 cents.\nTell them in the letter they have left the stuff for so many days and now you are giving them TEN DAYS to inform you that they are making an attempt to make arrangements to pick up the stuff or it will be disposed of.\nThen they can't sue you.

i would start at the county courthouse archives first. if they can't help you they probably can direct you to someone who can. \n\nthere will be a fee no doubt. you may even need to contact a lawyer. \n\nthe biggest problem i see you running into would be if it is a child family court thing..it may be sealed. you may need to get a court order to view them.

Hello:\n\nIt stays there forever.  \n\nSure, she can file a motion for an expungment.  A letter to the court asking that they accept the letter as a motion ought to do the trick.  Make sure she send a copy to the prosecutor.  \n\nAn expungment just hides the record from the public, however.  If she wants to get rid of it althgether, she needs to file a motion for a pardon.  A pardon is gonna be harder to get, of course, and probably won't happen without an attorney.  But she has a shot at expungment, if she's been good. \n\nexcon

You will have to have them expunged.  Usually there is about a seven year wait from the time of the conviction.  The quickest way to see when you can have it removed from your file is to talk to the court clerk.  They will have everything you need to know and the paper work to get it done. \n\nGood Luck

wrap the package in such a manner that nobody could ever accuse you of opening it and leaving no marks (duct tape works well for this... lots of duct tape) and send it to yourself certified mail.  when you recieve it, save the reciept and whatever you do, DO NOT OPEN IT!! EVER.  this is the most imporanat part.  if something does come up, where you have to defend yourself in court, let the judge open it for the first time.  \nit does hold up in court, if you do it properly.  after that, you do need to copyright it the right way though.

Probably disposing because you can get charged with something like "getting rid of evidence"...

Criminal records are public. If you mean sealing as to not allow members of the public to have access, then you are fighting a losing battle. If you mean to expunge your record (to make it disapear) then the best way is to hire an attorney, or go back to your public defender. Depending on the nature of the record, it is just a matter of paperwork and money, of course. To have your record expunged you have to show the courts that you have kept your nose clean for over a lenght of time, in most cases, many years. You also have to remember that the prosecutor most likely will not want your record cleared. Remember, he/she was elected into office to put criminals in jail. Each court has its' filling fees, for most part, the request has to be in proper form, submitted and all fees paid. It is a very simple process, very little paperwork involved. But like I said, the best way is to just hire an attorney. He/she can best argue your case. To give you a ball park figure, the court jurisdiction in which I worked, the filling fee was 50 bucks, and an attorney would charge around 500 bucks, these vary by jurisdiction and state. Good Luck  Remember, having your record SEALED will still show a hit on NCIC, you will still be considered open game, an expunged record on the other hand will show no hits on NCIC, agian, Good luck.

~~~~LISTEN TO ME~~~~\n\nComplete your education. \n\nBefore you apply for a job, return to your attorney and request that he have your criminal record expunged.  You must have completed your probation, payment of fines, and not have committed any more crimes~KEEP YOUR RECORD CLEAN~\n\nExpunged records are withdrawn from public access, allowing courts to give deserving people a chance to rebuild their lives without the stigma of a criminal conviction. Almost every state allows expungement of records for juvenile convictions and for cases where an adult defendant was acquitted.\n\nYour education will help with the completion of your expungment~it will show that you are deserving~~~Good luck!

You need to contact the courts to have the record expunged. I think you will need to have a lawyer file it for you, and go from there. The lawyer will file, and once it is expunged, it will not show up on your permanent record.\n\nBTW, there are a couple offenses that can't be expunged from your record. One is any type of sex offense, and the other would be murder.
