For a misdemeanor conviction, a person may apply for both record sealing and expungement. The application is filed with the court which heard the case and imposed the sentence. For misdemeanors, other than minor misdemeanors, the application may be filed one year after the 'final discharge' of the case.
The statute of limitations for most misdemeanors is two years. Law enforcement has not made a discovery of the offense due to the defendant's evasion or concealment of their identity. The prosecutor has not located the “body of the crime.” There is an ongoing prosecution against the defendant for another crime in Ohio.
Misdemeanor convictions leave a permanent criminal record that is accessible to the public, including employers. Many people mistakenly believe that misdemeanor convictions automatically drop off of court records after a few years.
An Ohio background check for employment may include: National, federal, state, and county criminal background checks to look for felony and misdemeanor convictions. Employment and education verification to confirm a candidate's work history, degrees, and credentials.

Unless a person petitions the court to expunge their misdemeanor criminal record under the Ohio Expungement Statute, the criminal record will always be accessible and available to public inspection.
In order to have a misdemeanor expunged in Ohio, a person must wait one year from the termination of the case. This would include any period of probation or fulfillment of all court orders. Further, one has to be a “Eligible Offender” as defined under ORC 2953.31: O.R.C.
