Florida Criminal Defense Attorney

Sealing a juvenile record is the act of making an individual’s criminal record private from the public.  As a rule, all criminal records can be accessed by the public, as well as by government officials, and law enforcement.  Sealing a record makes that particular record irretrievable by public background checks.  Only the court is able to pull up this information when sealed.  Essentially, sealing a record makes it as though the crime was never committed.  With juvenile crimes, this often occurs when the individual changes status from being a minor, to being an adult.  In some cases, juvenile criminal records are expunged; in others, the records are sealed.  In many states, juvenile records are completely destroyed after being sealed for a set number of years.  This is especially true in cases where the individual has not re-offended since the records were sealed.  Good behavior is also a reason why records may be sealed in the first place.    

Once a juvenile criminal record is sealed, it can no longer be used against the individual, even in the case of later criminal proceedings.  Laws governing the sealing of juvenile records vary state by state, so it is up to the state whether an individual must petition for the sealing of their juvenile criminal record, or whether it will be automatic.  Furthermore, it is up to the state whether a record can be sealed at all, or if it will remain public information.
