There are many life situations that will require you to
admit to a criminal record, such as applying to attend certain colleges or
schools, when applying for a professional license, for loans and others. If you
have been convicted of a crime, you are required to admit it on the form, which
could make you ineligible.
Once your criminal record has been expunged, you no longer
have to admit to your record while filling out forms. Police have access to
criminal records that have been expunged, but other members of the public don't
– including prospective employers. You no longer have to admit that you have
been arrested, charged or convicted, once your criminal record has been
expunged.
There are certain jobs that still require you to disclose
that you have a criminal record, such as working as a government employee. If
you are concerned about whether you are safe from having to admit to an arrest
or conviction in a case that was expunged or sealed, talk to a lawyer who can
advise you, based upon what type of job or license you are applying for.
Generally, you do not have to admit that you have a criminal record once it is
expunged or sealed.
