Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/28/2022 -- Adult criminal history records are public in Florida unless they are sealed or expunged. When a person is arrested and fingerprinted, a criminal history record is created, which includes the disposition of any charges arising from that arrest, whether it is an adjudication of guilt or the withholding of adjudication. The requirements for expunging a criminal record are quite intricate. For anyone arrested in Florida, this is bad news that can make it difficult to get a job, find adequate housing, travel and even form relationships. However, people who qualify to have a criminal record wiped or sealed in Florida can start over.
