Arizona Juvenile Record SealingArizona Revised Statute 8-349

Arizona law allows for the destruction of juvenile records. If the records are destroyed then the incident is treated as if it never happened and it will not appear on a background check.

In order to destroy your Arizona Juvenile conviction, you must meet the following requirements:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Not convicted of a felony as an adult
• Not adjudicated delinquent for the following offenses:
  • Murder (1st or 2nd Degree)
  • Forcible Sexual Assault
  • Armed Robbery
  • Violent Felony Offenses
  • Chronic Felony Offender
  • Class 1 Felony
  • Class 2 Felony
  • Class 3 Felony for preparatory offenses, arson, robbery, or organized crime, fraud
    and terrorism
  • Class 3, 4, 5, or 6 Felony involving a dangerous offense
  • DUI
• No pending charges
• Completed all terms and conditions of your court ordered probation or received a discharge from the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections
• Paid all fines and restitution
• It is in the interest of justice to have your records destroyed

If you were adjudicated delinquent of one of the above offenses, you may still have your juvenile records destroyed if:

• You are at least 25
• You have not been convicted of a felony as an adult
• There are no pending charges
• Completed all terms and conditions of your court ordered probation or received a discharge from the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections
• You paid all fines and restitution
• It is in the interest of justice to have your records destroyed
