Expungement vs. Record Sealing. The key difference between expunging a person's criminal record and sealing it is that a sealed record still exists in both a legal and physical sense, while expungement results in the deletion of any record that an arrest or criminal charge ever occurred.
A person seeking to have an arrest or criminal conviction expunged from their record must usually fill out an application or petition, and submit the paperwork to the proper criminal court for a judge's review and decision. In most jurisdictions, a fee must be paid in conjunction with the filing of the application.
