Florida Record Sealing

You can have your criminal record sealed in Florida. The Court, upon motion of the defendant, has the authority to seal or expunge a record where a conviction was not entered or adjudication was withheld. Once relief is granted by the Court, the clerk of the court shall notify all interested parties of the Order and instruct them to seal their records in this matter.

In order to seal or expunge a criminal history record, you must meet the following requirements pursuant to Florida Statutes 943.0585(2) and 943.059(2):

(1)No prior convictions;

(2) Adjudication of Guilt must have been withheld;

(3)Never had a prior conviction sealed or expunged in Florida or in any other state.

In seeking this relief, you are required to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement prior to the filing of a Motion to Seal or Expunge your record of arrest.

You must be fingerprinted by authorized law enforcement personnel or a criminal justice agency. The fingerprint form must include your personal information and must be signed and notarized.

A certified copy of the disposition of the case must also be submitted with the application.

A Non-Refundable money order or cashier’s check for $75 dollars must accompany the application.

Upon issuance of a Certificate of Eligibility, the proper motions can then be filed with the Court.

If you meet these requirements, you are eligible for record sealing under Florida Revised Statute 943.059 and entitled to relief.* Criminal History Cleaners will take your case every step of the way through the judicial process for only $199 dollars.
