Florida Petition To Expunge Or Seal is a legal process that allows individuals to request that certain criminal records be removed from public view. This process is also commonly referred to as record sealing or record expungement. In order for a record to be expunged or sealed, an individual must first submit a Petition to Expunge or Seal with the appropriate court. There are two main types of Florida Petition To Expunge Or Seal: full expungement and record sealing. Full expungement of a record removes the record from public view, meaning it cannot be accessed through public records. Record sealing hides the record from public view, but it can still be accessed by certain criminal justice entities. In order to be eligible for a Florida Petition To Expunge Or Seal, the individual must meet certain criteria, such as having no other criminal convictions, not having any pending criminal charges, and not having any open cases. Additionally, the individual must wait a certain amount of time after the conviction or arrest before they are eligible to file a Petition. The process for filing a Petition To Expunge Or Seal in Florida involves several steps. The individual must first complete the Petition and submit it to the court along with supporting documents. The court will then review the Petition and make a decision on whether to grant the expungement or sealing. If the court grants the expungement or sealing, the individual must then submit a final court order to the applicable agencies to have the record expunged or sealed.
