What Is Expungement?

With a few exceptions, there is no such thing as a true “expungement” in California. Criminal records do not expire and are considered to be public records, so they remain accessible to anyone running a routine background check. After having a record expunged, however, your criminal conviction will show up as “expunged” on checks. This means that a potential employer cannot deny you a job under these circumstances and you can legally answer “no” if asked whether you have any arrests or convictions.

Who is Eligible for Expungement in CA?

Generally, those who may apply for expungement include:

  • Applicants who have successfully finished probation for a misdemeanor or felony without being incarcerated
  • Those who are not currently charged with a crime or on probation for a crime
  • Those who are not serving a sentence for a crime

Keep in mind that certain convictions – such as sex offenses involving children – can never be expunged.
