Sealing and Expunging Records
Limiting public access to old cases.
The difference
Sealing hides records from public view; expungement may destroy or legally erase them. Eligibility depends on the case type, outcome, and how much time has passed.
Clean slate laws
A growing number of states automatically seal certain old records. Check your state's rules and forms.
