"Thank you very much for all of your help. You have been just wonderful and I appreciate everything that you have done for me during this process." - Al R.

Minnesota Juvenile Conviction ExpungementMinnesota Statute Section 260B.198 
Minnesota automatically seals juvenile records and only select individuals and agencies have access to them. However, you can also expunge the records so that you can state you were not convicted or adjudicated delinquent.
In Minnesota your juvenile records are automatically sealed; however, certain agencies can still access the records. If you were a juvenile who was prosecuted as an adult for a particular crime, the records will be kept even longer and will be open to public inspection like any adult matter. Even though the juvenile records are automatically sealed, Minnesota law does not automatically "expunge" juvenile records unless you petition the court for an order expunging them. Fortunately, Minnesota law gives a court the power to expunge your juvenile records, whether you were tried as a minor/juvenile or as an adult. By expunging the records you can state that you are not convicted or adjudicated delinquent.
- Allows you to state that you were not convicted or adjudicated delinquent.
- Allows you to tell potential employers that you have not been convicted of a crime.
- You may become eligible for more types of professional licenses and certificates.
- Can greatly improve your earning capacity by opening countless job opportunities.
- Tell friends and family that you have not been convicted of a crime.

How long does the process take?
The process can take five to six months, depending on your individual circumstances, the court’s workload at the time, and whether there are any objections from the government, the victim, or other interested parties.
What if I join the military?
If you want to join the US military, then it becomes a matter of federal law, not Minnesota 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.
Do I have to disclose it ever?
This depends on who you are dealing with. Most law enforcement agencies/criminal justice agencies will be able to find out about the juvenile record. However, the general public (including private employers, landlords, etc.) will not find out about juvenile records, whether or not they have been “expunged.” If a particular juvenile matter has been expunged, not just sealed, the individual can legally deny that they were ever charged with that offense.
Will it still show up on my background check after it is sealed?
In MN, juvenile records (i.e. cases where the juvenile was not prosecuted as an adult) are already sealed. Only a few individuals/agencies would have access to juvenile records, but not the general public. However, there is an expungement statute for juvenile records that allows a juvenile court to expunge juvenile records, but that law does not state its effects. To date, there is no case law to clarify. However, adult expungement law allows you to state that you were not convicted and seals the records. For juveniles who are prosecuted as adults, they are eligible to expunge under Minnesota law just like any adult.
