Florida Juvenile Record SealingFlorida Statute Section 943.0515 & 943.0581 & 943.0582

For juvenile offenses, Florida has three avenues for expungement. The first way is an automatic expungement pursuant to Section 943.0515 of a juvenile record, at age 24 or 26, depending on prior history and arrest or conviction as an adult.

The second way calls for action when the juvenile was arrested "contrary to law or mistake" pursuant to Section 943.0581.

The third way is expunction by petition of some misdemeanors after successful completion of completed a pre-arrest, post-arrest, or teen court diversion program under Section 943.0582. An application for a juvenile diversion expunction must be filed within six months of completing the diversion program. After that time, the individual would have to apply for a regular sealing or expungement.

Once your record is sealed, it is as though the charge never existed and you are able to apply for most jobs without the fear that it will appear. The only employment opportunity in which you must disclose it is for employment with a criminal justice agency, such as the police.

The typical case in Florida takes about 4 to 5 months. The courts operate on a first-come, first served basis, so the sooner you start, the sooner your record is sealed.
