Pennsylvania Juvenile Expungement is a process that allows individuals who have been charged with a juvenile crime to have their criminal record sealed from public view. The records are not destroyed, but are kept in a separate, secure database and only available to criminal justice agencies. With an expungement, the individual can legally deny the existence of the criminal record. There are three types of Pennsylvania Juvenile Expungement: limited access, total expungement, and automatic expungement. Limited Access: A limited access expungement is when the record is sealed from public view. This means that the record is not available to employers, landlords, or other private entities. The record is still accessible to criminal justice agencies, however. Total Expungement: A total expungement is when the record is completely sealed and destroyed. This means that the record is not available to anyone, including criminal justice agencies. Automatic Expungement: An automatic expungement is when the record is automatically expunged by the court after a certain period of time. This means that the individual does not need to apply for the expungement; it will happen on its own.
