What is Expungement in Florida?
Expungement is a legal process that allows for the sealing or erasure of a criminal record, making it inaccessible to the public, including employers and landlords. In Florida, an expunged record is physically destroyed, providing a higher level of privacy compared to record sealing, where the record is simply hidden from public view but still exists.
Eligibility for Expungement in Florida
Not every criminal record is eligible for expungement. To qualify, you must meet specific criteria:
- You were not convicted of the crime. Expungement is typically available for cases where charges were dropped, you were acquitted, or you completed a pretrial diversion program.
- You have no prior convictions on your record.
- The offense is not one of the disqualifying offenses listed under Florida law, such as certain serious felonies.
Benefits of Expungement
- Enhanced Employment Prospects: With an expunged record, you are not required to disclose the expunged offense to most employers, improving your chances of employment.
- Better Housing Opportunities: Expungement can facilitate easier access to housing, as landlords often conduct background checks.
- Peace of Mind: Clearing your record can provide peace of mind, allowing you to move forward without the burden of a criminal history.
