If you have paid the fine, you can send a letter to the judge to "motion" that the misdemeanor record be sealed.  It will be up to the judge to decide if that is appropriate in your case.  I would also send letters of support from friends, family and employers on your character and that you have not violated the law since then.

you have two choices here.\n\nHire a lawyer, and find what proof needs to be produced to show these were taken out in your name without your knowledge. Even if you are married, that is credit fraud. No one can open anything in your name only (joint is a different story) without your consent. If that proof will be easy to attain, that's another story. \n\nYour only other option is to get an engineering and physics degree. \n\nOnce this is done...you can make a time machine and not get married to someone who'd do something screwed up like that. :)

Go to the judge that sentenced you and ask for your record to be expunged.

Laws are different from state to state but expunging your record is a good idea.  But in many (most?) states just expunding it doesn't necessarily take the charge/arrest of your record.  It gives you the right to say to employers that you do not have the mis/felony but sometimes it will show up on backgournd checks but it will show that it was expunged.  But it still shows "what" was expunged.  It's complicated so you may want to talk to a lawyer and ask what kind of background checks your employer does.

It depends entirely upon what the charges were, and your behavior since they were recorded. In the long run, you are better off putting it on there, because anyone with a valid court order (such as the military conducting a background check) will pull your criminal record, and if they find it and you didn't own it on your background check application, that actually looks worse than the fact that you have had charges filed against you as a juvenile (or adult for that matter).

if you are talking about crimmal record , you have have to go to the judge who did the record and tell them to take it off the record. you have to call the courthouse to get an appointment for this. if you know the laywer talk with them about it .

I've never been convicted of a felony, but I was charged with a few misdemeanors when I was 20.  (Back when I was young and stupid in college.)  I could have had them wiped out afterwards but I didn't have it done.  You have to petition the court to get it cleared.  I would just call a law office and ask or call the courthouse and ask.  They should be able to get you your answer and the proper way to do it.  Personally, I'd would just own it.  Everyone makes mistakes, I've never been questioned about my juvenile record and I think if you have it sealed, it will just raise doubt and questions about your past.  Be honest and straight with people, and they will return the favor when it comes time to hire.

you must petition the court and I am not sure if there is a filing fee.  If you are a minor it is sealed when you turn 18 after that I think your charges can be erased after 7 years, you have to check with the local courts where you live

you might as well explain ahead of time.  if they look up your record and see something was on there, even though it was pardoned, it will make you look dishonest.\n\nthis happened to me in court.  i was detained by the police, but never arrested and in court the "arrest record" appeared.  i could honestly say i was never arrested or charged with anything, but it made me look dishonest in court, even though i was not.  i forgot to tell my attorney about the incident as it was ten years ago and i wasn't charged.\n\njust best to come clean ahead of time.

there shouldn't be a charge on your record, only a conviction.  Were you convicted/plaed guilty, etc..? How did you get convicted?  Would there be reason for a mistrial?  If you did it, or were found guilty of it, you're screwed.  But, you should have a lawyer check out the case, and give you an opinion.  FYI, my friend had a case following from when he was a juvenile.  He's now 30, and it shows up on every background check.  He thinks there's no way out of it, since they don't expunge a minor's files

Here is a link to a site that specializes in the expunging of records. They have information available on their site that people on Yahoo Answers cannot provide. All I can do is offer you the link to someone that can provide solid, accurate answers for you:\nhttp://removeit.org/\nBest of luck to you in your endeavors.

You may be able to go into a judge and get it taken off your record.  It it was long enough ago and its not something that you have any connection to now.  Its worth a try.  I have known people who have them taken off their record for joining the military, so i'm sure they can do it for other things.
