You have to apply to the court for the expungement. Many public defender offices will handle the expungement for you if you can't afford an attorney. I know for a fact that the San Francisco Public Defender does.  It's called the Clean Slate program.

I may be wrong but I do not think they ask for police certs. It is usual for areas near the US consulates to be surrounded by "Advisors" Ask one of them and let them help you out. It may be a shorter route.   After 17 years without any toher problems, I don't think they will bother oyu too much. \nhere may be a process whereby you may get that record expunged. Try to see what can be done.\n\nGood luck.

I'm assuming that since you have the certificate it was an arrest and conviction and not just an arrest. If the incident was 21 years ago and you've had a clean record since then, then you probably won't have much of a problem. The biggest hurdle you'll have to face is if your arrest was for drugs. People with drug convictions in their background will be automatically disqualified from some jobs, especially if you're applying for a position where you'd have access to controlled substances. The best advice that I can give you is to be 100% honest when applying for the job. Lying about your past will get you in more trouble than telling the truth.

Just call the local police station and say you want a criminal records check done on someone. It's puplic knowledge if they have.

First, you might be able to get the government job even if it is not expunged.  Second, some government jobs require you to disclose the conviction even if it was expunged.

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.

Actually it is not hard...if you have not committed any more crimes....\nIf you have not went to court yet...you can have your lawyer to ask for the first offenders act..under this act.. after completing your sentence and remaining out of trouble for 5 years...you can have your record sealed...\nIf you have already completed your sentence....get a lawyer and ask for your lawyer to write an appeal to the Pardons and Parole Board of your state asking for a pardon of your crime.....with a pardon given...your rights are reinstated and maybe the charge is sealed on record......This takes a little time and you must stay away from trouble and commit no more crimes.....

YOU CANT EXPUNGE CONVICTIONS.  Anyone who told you otherwise is mistaken.  Also you cannot get any bonded employment with a theft conviction. your employer will tell you that you falsified your job application when you didn't put this down.  grounds for dismissal and no unemployment.

Your criminal convictions are a matter of public record and usually can be obtained at your states bureau of criminal apprehension.  There are also websites which provide an accurate accounting of criminal history. I've provided a link for one I have used in the past. Hope this helps you.

There is no place to get a FREE criminal record online. \n\nIf you want a free criminal record check, hike to your nearest police department, show them your identification card or license, and they can conduct a check while-you-wait.

Federal law allows persons convicted of felonies in a federal United States district court to apply to have their record expunged after a certain period of time with a clean record. However, the U.S. Congress has refused to fund the federal agency mandated with handling the applications of convicted felons to have their record expunged. This means that, in practice, federal felons cannot have their records expunged. \n\nYou may also check with your local State laws.\n\nGood Luck!!!

Depends on what kind of record you have. If you have a felony it will be extremely hard to get it expunged. You will have to file a request and it will have to be approved by a judge.\nCall the prosecutor's office in your county and ask.
