    Default Record Sealing

    My question involves criminal records for the state of: Georgia

    In 2005 I pleaded No Contest to 2 charges of Simple Battery here in Georgia. I paid a fine, performed 40 hours of Community Service and was given 6 months probation. All completed satifactorilly. Before this incident, I had no record at all and had not had a traffic violation since 1983.

    I accepted a job for a company that on occasion travels into Canada. I was required to get something call CANPASS which is an expedited way of clearing customs. The Canadian Authorities denied my application and I was fired for not being able to travel into Canada.

    In order to remain employed, I am attempting to resolve this. I have applied for a pardon here in Georgia but nothing has been granted as of now. Is there a way to get this expunged or sealed? This will affect me the rest of my professional career otherwise. Thanks.

    Default Re: Record Sealing

    In Georgia, under some circumstances, you may be able to have a criminal record expunged, which means that some records are destroyed and others are restricted from disclosure.

    You may be eligible for expungement if:

    Charges against you have been disposed of without a conviction and you have not been convicted of a crime in the past five years, or
    You have a juvenile record, but you were not adjudicated delinquent.
