The Maryland Petition for Expungement of Juvenile Records is a legal process for individuals who were charged with or found delinquent of a criminal offense as a juvenile in Maryland to have their records permanently sealed. This process allows individuals to have their juvenile records expunged from state and federal databases, meaning that the records are erased from public view and potential employers and landlords will not have access to them. The different types of Maryland Petition for Expungement of Juvenile Records are: (1) Petition for Expungement of Delinquent Records; (2) Petition for Expungement of Records Resulting from Solo Contender Plea; (3) Petition for Expungement of Records Resulting from a Stet Docket; (4) Petition for Expungement of Records Resulting from a Dismissal or Not Guilty Verdict; and (5) Petition for Expungement of Records Resulting from Juvenile Record Sealing. The process for each type of expungement is different and requires the individual to submit the proper paperwork, including a copy of the court order, to the court in order to begin the process. Once the court approves the petition, the records will be sealed and the individual can move forward with their life without the burden of their juvenile records.
