    Default Re: How Would You Interpret This Question Regarding Expunged/Sealed Record

    No, my record was sealed in FL, but I am applying in NC. I have also contacted the agency to determine what to do. Thanks again.

    I thought that a sealed record is the same as expunged?

    yeah, that is my assumption about it too. It's a technicality per FL law, since you can answer NO on employment applications. I'm just not sure, since sealing doesn't exist in NC, just expungement. It will suck if i have to reveal my sealed record. I would have to unseal it and start the sealing process all over again, which takes 5-7 months plus fees.



    5. What is the difference between having a criminal history record sealed vs. expunged?

    When a criminal history record is sealed, the public will not have access to it. Certain governmental or related entities, primarily those listed in s. 943.059(4)(a), Florida Statutes, have access to sealed record information in its entirety.
    When a record has been expunged, those entities which would have access to a sealed record will be informed that the subject of the record has had a record expunged, but would not have access to the record itself without a court order. All they would receive is a caveat statement indicating that "Criminal Information has been Expunged from this Record".
