File a Request to Expunge, Impound or Seal Criminal Records

In Illinois, a Request to Expunge, Impound, or Seal Criminal Records is a formal legal petition filed by an individual who wants to clear their criminal record from public view or restrict access to certain criminal information. This request is used to achieve various purposes, such as improving employment prospects, housing opportunities, and other aspects of life that may be negatively affected by a criminal record.
Expungement removes the record entirely, impoundment restricts access to certain court records, and sealing allows the records to be viewed only by certain entities under specific circumstances. Eligibility for expungement or sealing varies based on the type and severity of the offense and whether the individual has completed certain conditions, such as serving their sentence or meeting a waiting period after the conviction or arrest.
