What is expungement?
Expungement is a legal process in which criminal convictions or arrests are “sealed.” Once a criminal record is expunged, the record is invisible to the public. This means that a potential landlord or employer will not be able to see your criminal conviction or arrest when completing a background check. If a record is expunged, you are also legally able to deny that you have a record, in most cases.
It is important to note that in some cases, the record may still be visible. For example, government agencies may be able to see the criminal record.
