Expungement and record sealing is process where you request that the court set aside a criminal conviction or arrest record, so that you would not suffer any penalties or disabilities from the conviction. You are not legally bound to disclose an expunged conviction or arrest record to a future employer. However, there are three instances where you are required to reveal such records, regardless of whether it was expunged:

  • Applying for a state license
  • Contracting with state lottery
  • Running for public office

In these instances, an expunged conviction can be reported as such.
