Your record is not automatically expunged if that is what you are asking. You should contact your local court and get the paperwork required to file for an expungement. Generally, you will have a hearing and this will give the prosecutor the opportunity to object to expunging your record. They may do this and typically will if it is a crime a of violence. Also, in Ohio some crimes such as Traffic Violations, DUI's, Sex Crimes, and Driving Under Suspensions will not be expunged from your record. Moreover, crimes of violence are usually to the discretion of the prosecutor and they may object, especially in a domestic violence situation. They will use the standard of whether it is in the best interest of the public and government agents to keep your record accessible.
Furthermore, you need to wait one year after you have finished your sentence including probation to file to Seal Your Record. Hope this helps! |
