Illinois Expungement
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.
