Minnesota Order to Seal / Expunge Judicial Records Only is a state law that allows individuals to have their criminal records permanently sealed or expunged. This law applies to all criminal records, including those that were dismissed, not charged, or resulted in a conviction. It also applies to juvenile records. There are three types of Minnesota Order to Seal / Expunge Judicial Records Only: Expungement, Sealing of Records, and Limited Access Sealing (LAS). Expungement is a process that completely destroys all records of an arrest or conviction. The records are erased from any public access and are no longer visible to law enforcement or other agencies. Sealing of Records is a process that keeps criminal records from being accessible to the public. The records are still available to law enforcement, but will not show up in background checks or other public searches. Limited Access Sealing (LAS) is a process that limits access to criminal records. This type of sealing keeps the records accessible to law enforcement, but the records will not be visible to potential employers, landlords, or other members of the public. The Minnesota Order to Seal / Expunge Judicial Records Only is a valuable tool that allows individuals to move on from their past and start fresh.
