Records Seal & Expungement Information

Basic Information

The Records Seal & Expungement programs are handled through the State & DOJ.
Through the programs you may apply for a seal of records and expungement of
records by filling out a Records Seal/Expungement Petition, this petition covers all
seals of records and expungement processes.

If you are interested in reforming and wish to apply for any job that might require a
clean record, you are encouraged to include this information in your petition to allow
better consideration of your petition, and your potential value to the State of San
Andreas or the community in your desired field of work.

Approved Seal of Records

Once you have been granted a pardon, the state will continue to allow public access to
your records, simply adding a notation that you have been pardoned for any crime(s),
you will also appear in a relevant database of pardons.
Receiving a pardon frees you from the conditions of your convictions and sentences,
and fully restores your civil rights. This means you can vote, and even apply to most
jobs and positions, including the Department of Justice. That being said, the relevant
workplace directors may still use their discretion when evaluating your files.

Expungement

From the time you have been pardoned, you will be minimally monitored to ensure
you don’t mishandle or abuse the benefits of the program. 20-31 Days later, you will be
reviewed once more. If the program is deemed a success, you will then be granted a
partial or full record expungement, this expungement will be done as the last step of
your program.

Once your record is expunged, it is “forgotten.” In other words, your record is

destroyed and, for most purposes, treated as though it never existed.

signed document or an email by/from an officially licensed therapist that you have
met and received help or counseling at least one time.

The necessary funds and the optional signed document must be forwarded to a
state official before filling your petition, either by paying directly to a State official by
coordinating a meeting with one through emails, or via the government appointment
form. You may also forward this fee to your legal representative, who will handle
passing the funds in the same manner. Any proven mismanagement of these funds by
your legal representative will provide you with a full refund and the assistance in the
prosecution of said legal worker beyond his/her immediate termination.

government document, or through any official process with the State or Department of
Justice.

program, with or without notice, based on any information it receives about you or

for any length of time.

If you are charged with any crimes in the United States from the moment you
send in your petition, including any time throughout your program and until your
review. Your program will be revoked and your petition and program will be
terminated and considered null.

pardon, and have been charged with a crime yet again, you will not be able to apply to
the programs again. A seal of records or expungement may only be granted once
unless a special grant or approval is given again either by a Governor, Mayor, and/or
Judge.
