How long does the process take?
Typically, the case takes about four to five months.
What if I want to become a police officer?
For Arizona, once your juvenile records have been destroyed, it is treated as though it never occurred, and you can deny it on any application, including an application to become a police officer. Thus, it is highly unlikely that anyone would know about it.
What if I join the military?
If you want to join the US military, then it becomes a matter of federal law, not Arizona state law. All branches of the military will want to know about your juvenile offenses, even if they have been expunged. There is still a risk of being discharged from the military if you don’t tell them and they later find out about it. It’s always advisable to disclose that you had a conviction, but it was taken before a judge and he deemed it in the interest of justice to expunge/seal the record from public view.
Will it still show up on my background check?
No. Once the court grants the order, they must destroy the juvenile court and department of juvenile correction records.
