Expungement procedures and requirements vary from state to state and you will have to look at your state statutes for the particular procedures to follow in your state, or to even know if you are eligible to have the dismissed charges expunged. In Florida, for example, there are certain arrests that cannot be expunged, even though the charges were ultimately dismissed.

When your record is expunged, it is physically destroyed, and the public will no longer have access to it. Although in many states, one copy is retained by the state's central law enforcement agency and there are situations in which you would still have to reveal you've had a record expunged.

It varies, from state to state. Each state has it's own eligibility requirements and procedures. In Florida, for example, you would have to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, then file a petition to expunge with the court. Best bet is to look online and find an attorney that offers a free case or eligibility evaluation (most do). Then you will know for sure if you can have your record expunged. From that point, you can determine whether to do it yourself or have someone help you.

All states have some kind of expungement law. However all are different from one another. You must research the law for your state to see (1) if that particular charge can be expunged, and (2) if you are eligible to have it expunged. Your best bet is to contact an attorney to assist you.
