Indiana Criminal Record Expungement<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A couple of years ago, Indiana legislature passed a new law\nthat allows certain individuals to conceal their criminal records from the general\npublic, known as criminal record expungement and sealing<\/em>. Although not\neveryone qualifies for criminal record expungement, this new law truly gives people\nanother chance at making their lives better since their criminal record won\u2019t\nhold them back from dating, better jobs, promotions, renting a nicer home,\ngetting approved for a loan, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once expunged or sealed, the public can no longer access\nyour criminal record. It will be hidden from public view, including potential\nemployers, rental companies, banks, school admission offices, and even the girl\nyou are about to ask out for dinner. The only authorities that can still access\nexpunged and sealed records is the government, including law enforcement, courts,\nand jails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Record Expungement v. Record Sealing<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are two types of Second Chance Laws: expungement<\/em>\nand sealing<\/em>. For those who do not qualify for expungement, they may have\na shot at being approved for record sealing. You see, those only qualify for criminal\nrecord expungement under very strict list of factors. There are several\nvariables that determine who is eligible to get their record expunged in\nIndiana. Upon qualification, most misdemeanors, class D felonies, arrest\nrecords, and even infractions like traffic tickets and evictions, can all\npotentially be eliminated from a person\u2019s personal record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a person was arrested and found guilty, or pleaded\nguilty, to a charge, then they can only apply to seal their criminal records.\nThis means these records will not be physically destroyed and will still be\naccessible by the police, federal government, FBI, immigration, and all other\npublic officials. However, when criminal records are sealed, they are no longer\nvisible on public background check databases or accessible by employers,\nlandlords, and other general public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A person can only expunge arrest records that never ended in\na conviction. This means arrests that were later dropped, acquitted, or\ndismissed can be completely expunged from physical and online databases.\nAlthough government officials and police can still access these records, just\nas they can sealed records, the general public cannot ever see them, and a\nperson can legally claim to never have been arrested. See our blog, \u201cFAQs\nAbout Sealing and Expunging Criminal Records<\/a>\u201d to learn more about the\ndifference between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a Once in a Lifetime Opportunity<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When someone wants to explore their options for criminal record expungement, it is important to first and fully understand that a person can only apply and be granted expungement one time in their entire lives. This means you cannot apply to have additional criminal and arrest records expunged after already having your records concealed in the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you decide to pursue criminal record concealment, be sure that all your paperwork, filing, deadlines, and additional requirements are accurate and in-line. Failing to file even one document, or filing it incorrectly, can instantly eliminate your chances of expunging your criminal history, forever. This is why it is vital to enlist the services of a licensed attorney, familiar with your state\u2019s new expungement laws, to facilitate the entire process to ensure that everything is done properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
