Florida statute 943.0585 allows for a person’s arrest record to be expunged, which means it is sealed and destroyed. When expungement is granted, the expunged record will not show up on any criminal background checks. However, if an individual is applying for employment or a professional license from a law enforcement agency, the Department of Juvenile Justices, a contractor or licensee dealing with children, the Department of Education, a public school, a private school, or the FL Bar Association, these agencies will see a statement that indicates the person’s record has been expunged.
In order to be eligible you 1) can’t be convicted of the crime and it must have been dismissed before trial, 2) the individual has no other convictions, and 3) if the individual has not sealed or expunged any other criminal record.
The typical case in Florida takes about 6 months. The courts operate on a first-come, first served basis, so the sooner you start, the sooner your record is cleared.

How long does it take?
Typically, it takes six months to expunge a criminal record.
We base our estimates of how long a case will take on how long the average is for that service in that state. However, some cases can take less or more time depending on the facts of the case, whether the DA is agreeing or objecting, the age of the case, etc. We work on your case as fast as we can and assist the court and DA in anything they need to get your case heard.
Can an expunged record be seen?
Even though the expunged record is destroyed and unavailable to the public (meaning it will not show up on any background checks) the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) may reveal the existence of an expunged record, but not the details of the record, to the following parties if an individual is applying to them for employment or a professional license: 1. A law enforcement agency 2. The Department of Juvenile Justices 3. A contractor or licensee dealing with children 4. The Department of Education 5. Any public school 6. Any private school 7. The Florida Bar
Will it still show up on my background check?
No. Expungement seals and destroys the records so that the public cannot view the case.
What is the difference between Sealing and Expungement of my records?
The main difference is public accessibility. Sealing does not require certain agencies to actually "destroy" their records whereas a court order expunging records does. Once sealed, the public will not have access to the person’s criminal record (except for government officials). Both sealing and expunging a record removes the information from public records. Both require that the information be made confidential. Expungment goes one step further and physically destroys the records of arrest. Once expunged, the only way to a person from the public can access an expunged record would be through a court order.
What effect does expungement of my record have?
Under Florida law, an expunged criminal record is confidential and not subject to disclosure by any State or Federal agency who possesses it. A criminal justice agency that possesses your criminal record is not allowed to say that you even had a criminal record, or that it was expunged. Also, information regarding the criminal offense that was expunged is removed from the Criminal Justice Information System so that it does not come up on any background checks. The only instance in which the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) may reveal the existence of an expunged record, but not the details of the record, to the following parties if an individual is applying to them for employment or a professional license: 1. A law enforcement agency 2. The Department of Juvenile Justices 3. A contractor or licensee dealing with children 4. The Department of Education 5. Any public school 6. Any private school 7.
