If you are not sure about how your background check will turn out it's important to know. Past incidents such as driving violations, speeding tickets, DUI's  Arrests or Criminal history will all show up.

If you have conducted an online search and find information on your background report that you would like to get expunged from your record, there is a process in place with the courts that will allow you take action and submit the proper paperwork to have the record removed. However, please note that the court has the right to deny your request for specific offenses including, but, not limited to sexual battery, child abuse, arson and aggravated assault. If your record on file reflects that of a criminal nature then it's best to seek the advice of an attorney.


What to Do If You Have an Outstanding Arrest Warrant
First, find out where the arrest warrant was issued. You have a few choices to accomplish this. You can go down to the local court house where the offense took place and ask for records. This can be time consuming since typically the court house is only open during normal working hours.

Clearing Up Arrest Records & Criminal Convictions
We all want to be able to go back in time before we did something that we regretted afterwards for doing. That is especially true when it comes to criminal convictions because they are recorded down somewhere and anyone especially employers can get that information about the crime you committed and will have a tough time trusting you. Regardless of how much you may have changed since the crime  it will still hold you back. Luckily you can clear some of the less serious criminal convictions and it's a relatively simple process.

For starters you have to be eligible to apply for clearance of your criminal conviction. You are eligible if you're done with your probation or parole and if you agreed to all the orders decided by the court. If there aren't any pending recent charges that have your name on them you're in good shape to request a clearance. In the case you're not on probation, you have to wait one year to pass from the date when your judgment. You must be careful not to break any laws during that period and avoid getting charges for anything else.


The Facts About Arrest Records, Court Records and Privacy
Court records are generally open to the public unless specifically sealed by a judge. Juvenile records, however, are confidential and are available to the victim of the crime to the same extent as any regular criminal docket.

If you think you may have an incident on file for an offense that should no longer be present on your public record, the first step in expediting the process is to search the public record or court record for the case name, docket number, court location and date the case was heard and  get as much information you can. One way to do this is by searching under your under name and state with RecordsArrest.org's instant search system.

Once you do this you can take the necessary steps to get it removed from your public record. This can be done by contacting your local courthouse where the record resides and then start due process to have it expunged from your file. However, you must have a previous judgment or legal reason stating why the record should be excluded. In most courts throughout the United States the only person who can expunge or seal a record is a judge.  It should also be noted the court has the right to deny your request and in certain cases if your court record reflects offenses such as sexual battery, child abuse, arson, and aggravated assault the record remains public unless a judge grants the files be sealed or expunged from your public record. It's always best to contact and seek the advise of an attorney in any legal process.

Finally, court records are automatically expunged in many cases, if more than 20 days have passed, the defendant has been acquitted, or 13 months after a nolle is entered. Court records are also expunged if the offense is later decriminalized, the defendant is granted an absolute pardon, or a youthful offender has been released from supervision of the court.
