An Arkansas Petition to Seal is a legal document that is filed with a court in order to seal a person’s criminal record. This document is usually filed after the completion of a sentence or other type of criminal disposition. It is used to restore the rights and privileges of an individual who has been convicted of a crime. The petition must be filed in the same county where the conviction occurred. There are two types of Arkansas Petitions to Seal: the Petition to Seal for Non-Violent Offenses and the Petition to Seal for Violent Offenses. The Petition to Seal for Non-Violent Offenses is used to seal the criminal record of someone who has been convicted of a non-violent crime. The Petition to Seal for Violent Offenses is used to seal the criminal record of someone who has been convicted of a violent crime. Both petitions require the individual to provide evidence of their rehabilitation in order for the court to grant the petition.
