    Default Re: What is Disclosed on a FBI or DPW Criminal Record Check

    What will it show in the case of an expungement? Nothing, or that the charge was "expunged?" At the relevant courthouse, the record will show nothing. However arrest records still exist with the police department that made the arrest and they may be other records of the arrest and conviction (if any) available through other sources.

    The FBI check has everything you ever did. I've seen those print outs before, and they can do a 'quick screen' that only searches for convictions or a full search that pulls up any and ALL interactions youve had with law enforcement, arrests, court appearance records, etc.

    As for the questions you answered 'no' to, reading this leads me to believe you were arrested and never convicted of a crime. So, you dont have to mention them since technically they arent convictions. Being charged with a crime is differnt than being convicted.

    The FBI check has everything in it that has been abstracted to the FBI, that the FBI has deemed appropriate to keep in your file. In some cases that may translate into "everything you ever did" but in others there will be holes. It is unwise to gamble on a criminal conviction not appearing in your FBI file, particularly if your prospective employer is doing that intense of a background check.

    Even if a conviction was expunged or set aside, the record still exists and certain categories of employers will have access to it. Chances are, if you were charged but not convicted because the charges were withdrawn, the record will show them as dismissed by the court.
