how soon does a felony show up on your criminal record?
362383
As soon as you have been tried and convicted, the felony is entered into the law enforcement data banks as soon as the paperwork can be processed. This can take a few days and has allowed for a few slip-ups in the judicial processes being used to assess the felon, if he is moved around a lot before being permanently placed to do his sentence. I have heard of convicted killers serving part of their time in minimum security before the paperwork caught up with them.

It stays until you get it expunged or you are issued a pardon.  There's a misbelief that crimes drop off your record at certain times.  They don't drop off automaticly, and most will never be able to be expunged or pardoned.

Here in Texas your record is erased when you turn 18,if you were arrested as a minor.A family member had a felony at 14 years old but was expunged at 18.\nIf you look for a goverment related job,is's going to show up on your record though !

I think a felony record is permanent.  I don't know about all employers,  but I work for the state of Arkansas and I think that if the incident happened at least 10 years,  you are considered for employment.    Sometimes one can get his record sealed so that it won't show up when a back ground is checked.  This is about all I know,  so I wish you good luck in what ever you do.  Sincerely,    David

if you qualify for first offender status, and you meet the requirements, have done your probation, etc. then no, an employer can not see your record. when the employer goes to the local police dept. and obtains a copy of your criminal history what you were arrested for that you got first offender will not show up; you can answer no on the application ' have you been convicted of a felony' it will not be on the criminal history they get from the police dept. it does not "count against you" as you asked,if you are NEVER arrested again (that means anywhere in the country-your history goes anywhere that's why it's called NCIC[National]. But if you are arrested again, anytime after the first arrest, the police dept. (officer-detective), magistrate judge, DA's office can see your criminal history and  your arrest for first offender will show up for them. law enforcement (and the criminal court) are under a different standard than employers. you cannot get a job in law enforcement or a government job including the military. so being honest and telling your prospective employer about your arrest defeats the purpose of the first offender status-you only have to deal with your conscience

Maryland asks its applicants if they have ever had a felony conviction. It does not state that you are automatically disqualified, however. \n\nYou should contact the state appraisal board, appraiser@dllr.state.md.us , and direct your question to the board.\n\nIn some states, the nature of the felony may disqualify you. For example, an embezzler may not qualify, but a drug dealer may qualify.

Most places are concerned with felony charges, or violent misdemeanors. It will show on your record if checked, but may not disqualify you for a job. You do not have to select felony, because you didn't have one, but never misrepresent yourself on an application. Misdemeanors do show on criminal reports. I worked in staffing for 2 years, so trust me - don't lie!  Most places would rather hire you if you are honest than if you try to lie about it. It makes you look unaccountable and irresponsible to lie about it.

You are fine.   You have not been convicted of a felony, so check "NO."   \n\nWho doesn't have a misdemeanor or two these days, thanks to our politicians "getting tough on crime"?    Good luck to you.

You have to file for an expungement--normally one year after your sentence is completed...be sure you or your attorney file for an expungement of the record and the arrest with all appropriate agencies in your state...you have to have a clean record from the date of the offense to the time of filing.

Depends...if its a drug felony, and you complete the sentence, then have proof of treatment for it(a letter from your shrink or something) then you ARE eligible. Violent felonies or grand theft may be different.

Most likely there are some misdemeanors that will disqualify you but  no most. Just be honest when questioned about them especially if they are in your past.

Yes, warrant will show up in all states if you are stopped. If you were not jailed, you are lucky. Better get it cleared up as soon as possible. Good luck

Depending on what state and what you were charged with it disappears from your record after a certain amount of years.  I know here in Illinois it's 7 to 10 years.  But if you are going for a job such as with the federal government they will know even if it has been removed or not.

All felony records will be on his background report forever.   Actually on his NCIC report all arrests and all convictions show up.\n\nNext I am surprised he can work as a bartender, in most areas they are not allowed to be a convicted felon.\n\nHe will have trouble getting work in many areas, but can find alot of jobs.  Construction,  store clerks and so on.\n\nThe longer it has been since he had the conviction the better his chance also.\n\nAnd if he keeps a clean record for 4 to 8 years, he can petition the court to espounge his conviction.\nBut he will need to show how he has improved his life.\n\nbut honestly excpet for a few fields that require bonding, there are excons working everywhere.

Of course it is still on your criminal record so it will follow you for life.  But on applications or anything like that don't leave it off when it asks if you've been convicted of a crime.  If you don't put it on there and a company hires you they can fire you if they find out.  Just be honest and if they ask, explain the situation.
