Expungement in Orange County, CA offers individuals with eligible criminal convictions the opportunity to clear their records and move on with their lives. Under California Penal Code 1203.4, expungement allows for the dismissal of certain convictions, meaning you can legally say “no” when asked if you’ve been convicted of a crime on most job and housing applications. This process can be life-changing for people seeking employment, professional licenses, or peace of mind.
The new law, effective January 1, 2023, expands automatic record relief for individuals convicted of certain non-violent felonies and misdemeanors. Under California’s “Clean Slate Act,” eligible records are sealed automatically after specific time requirements are met.
Yes, while an expungement clears your record for most civilian purposes, law enforcement and government agencies can still access the expunged conviction in background checks.
