Adoption records are indeed sealed unless by court order, and you would likely need a more compelling reason than "I want to know" to get a court order. One avenue to work on is Illinois' Adoption Registry, where you can register, and if your birth mother has or does register, they will allow you to exchange information. Information and forms are at the site below.

Doesn't sound like it was a misdemeanor. There are all sorts of minor violations which do not become part of any criminal / permanent / public records. If all you got was a ticket, then this is probably not something still on your record.

Grand jury investigations are secret; that's the point of a grand jury.  Illinois may be different, but in general grand jurors are sworn to secrecy and the case is not made known until the grand jury hands down an indictment.\n(The secrecy in part helps the defendant who may or may not be wrongly accused; that's why the grand jury is investigating--to see if there's probable cause to charge.)

Nothing gets automatically deleted from your record over time, not even misdemeanors. You need to apply to have your record expunged, or if juvenile cases, to have the juvenile records sealed. The fact that a person does not have any other criminal history will increase the likelihood of the court expunging the record.

YES IT GOES ON YOUR RECORD BUT YOU CAN HAVE IT ESPONGED FROM YOUR RECORD ONCE YOU SERVE ANY AND ALL PUNISHMENT YOU RECEIVE.  ALSO UNLESS ITS A FELONY YOUR MINOR RECORDS CAN BE SEALED.

it is sometimes possible to have a criminal record sealed so that it is only available for specific purposes.

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 can't. After a number of years you can get your record sealed - depending on the offense, but it is never truly sealed. Governmental agencies have access should they need it. Even if it's a juvenile record.

The answer is yes. The criminal record lives on until it is expunged. An expunged record will be sealed and made publicly unavailable, so that it's beneficial to the convicted individual for a clean slate. Ask your attorney about expungement application process.\n\nDropping charges and not pressing charges are basically interchangeable.

Are you looking for expungement?  That depends on if it is a juvenile or adult record you are talking about, in most states anyway.  Juvenile records are generally sealed but they can be a factor in certain circumstances.  Talk to an attorney or to the parole board of your state.  If that doesn't work or if it's too expensive, call a court clerk.  Sometimes they know enough to guide you in the right direction.  Some states also have advocates working in the court system that can help you find whatever resources you need.

It would be called having them Exsponged, and maybe I am misspelling not sure, and they are only removed as part of a plea deal. You will occassionaly read of how someone will get a plea deal where if they commit NO crimes for like 5 years the thing would be exsponged.  As the first person said that is up to the DA as well though. I don't think there is any limit though. Although if you seem to have a history of committing crimes right after a prior is exsponged they aren't likely to make the deal very often. As to people under 18 I haven't heard of misdemeanors being removed from their record. It is summary offenses that are usually "sealed" or sometimes exsponged from the record. Maybe 3rd degree misdemeanors or so will be as well but the more serious the crime the less likely it will be removed.

Sometimes it depends on the felony that you were convicted on.  But for the communications field I believe you are fine.  You might also consider filing a motion with the court to have the felony sealed/removed from your record.  If you have been law abiding since the conviction, consider this option.
