Expungement of Florida Arrest Record » Requirements
Florida statute allows for a person’s criminal offense to be erased if:
- all charges were dismissed before trial (or if 10 years have passed since having the record sealed
- you have not expunged any other offense
- you have no other convictions.
When expungement is granted, the expunged record will not show up on any criminal background checks. However, if an individual is applying for employment or a professional license from a law enforcement agency, the Department of Juvenile Justices, a contractor or licensee dealing with children, the Department of Education, a public school, a private school, or the FL Bar Association, these agencies will see a statement that indicates the person’s record has been expunged.
