i was arrested and i got no ssn at that time and later on 2010 i had my background check done in frankfort , ky and the record said at the top of it the check is incomplete/ no ssn. so by 2013 it would be 5 years from the date of my arrest i got a misdemeanor by the way. for theft under 300. so please when i expunge do i have to give my ssn since it was not already there??? and does still show up in the fbi back ground check since it would be expunged or military back ground check?? i ve read in several website that the expunge does not mean the destroy of the file but it will show in the record still that it has been expunged specially when i apply for government job is that true?? please i need an answer.

When I was 19, me and my ex friend stole from Wal-Mart. I'm not a horrible person, though I made a horrible mistake. This was almost 5 years ago and I still have 2 years left before I can get my record expunged, but this very episode hunts me day in and day out. Ultimately, I want to be a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and at this moment I am pursuing my BA in Psychology and I still have a long way to go before I reach my dream. To this day, I have not gotten into anymore trouble, not even been pulled over for an infraction by the police. My question is, can I get my licensure (after I get my only misdemeanor expunged) in Clinical Psychology (PsyD). I'm also wanting to pursue my Licensure for Professional Counseling (LPC) before I go for Psychology, just so that I can get acquainted with a graduate program and it will be easier for me to get into a doctorate program having already completed an M. Ed. Futhermore, after getting my current record expunged, do I have to tell anyone about the expungement? It states in kentucky's statutes that after having my record expunged, I do not have to dicose this information, but I want to work for the government and the licensure requirements are different as well. Quite frankily, I need an attorney's help.

My conviction was In Dec 07 for theft by unlawful taking. I did 2 years of probation and now I am continuing to serve out my 5 years so that I can get my record expunged. Have not had a decent job in my life, because this incident happened when I was 19 (I'll be 25 in Sept) Please, I need anyone to help me!! I have two kids and a family and I want to counsel so bad!!!!!!

Look up the Kentucky Statutes for Expungement. It specifies that you need to deal with another state's case in that state. In other words, you're not able to deal with an Illinois felony drug charge in Kentucky. I hope this helps. Good luck to you.

I paid my attorney $250 in 2003 for an expungement. The "no true Bill " came back from grand jury in 1998 on a first degree rape accusation. It was filed for expungement but It has not been in place I still receive letters from pretrial services on background checks. I dont understand why it wasn't put in to motion. If all charges were dropped and never went to trial why do I still have this on my record. And I don't want to spend anymore money when I feel that it should have took place in 2003?

I was convicted of possession of drug, possession of paraphanalia and nonsupport in KY. Probation for these convictions ended 2008, no priors of any kind, no charges of any kind since & I was wondering about getting all of my rights back including rights to bear arms.

It is not possible to say without further information regarding your record. But I hope this would help.

A nonpublic school voluntarily implementing the provisions of this chapter
may choose not to employ any person who is a violent offender as defined by
KRS 17.165(2), has been convicted of a sex crime which is classified as a
felony as defined by KRS 17.165(1), or has committed a violent crime as
defined in KRS 17.165(3). A nonpublic school may employ, at its discretion,
persons convicted of sex crimes classified as a misdemeanor.

Lucky Mom,

Under Kentucky law passed in 1992, judges, upon request, must expunge misdemeanor convictions five years after completion of the person's sentence if the applicant has no other criminal violations within that time. See Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 431.078. Under § 431.078(1), “any person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor or a violation, or a series of misdemeanors or violations arising from a single incident, may petition the court in which he was convicted for expungement of his misdemeanor or violation record.” A person must be informed of this “right” at the time of adjudication.

The only felony convictions eligible for expungement are Class D drug possession convictions.

I hope that this helps you out with some of the information you are looking for. Without greater detail regarding what you rap sheet may show it is hard to provide you with additional information.

That should answer your question. But still it's hard to say exactly what might happen without further details about the records and the date.

Wonder on Sealing of records

Mon, 21 Feb 2011 19:27:32 +0000

In 2002 I received a felony conviction from a Life insurance company. During that time I was employed by another company that continued to keep me. I worked for them up until this year 2011.

My work history since 2002 has been excellent, but I am in need a job change and some further education. I need to have my record sealed, expunged, or pardoned?? I am not sure living in KY what I can do. I do not wish to ever deal with any type of life, health or any type of insurance selling. But in order to be eligible for some education benefits and other potentially decent jobs afterwards I need to be able to apply without fear of being rejected employment due to my "long time ago" past history.

Is there anything I can do at this point?

I made a mistake in the past and I now have a criminal record. I want to become a teacher- if I get my criminal record expunged, will schools still see my record? Is it still possible to become a teacher?

Is it even possible to get my record expunged?
