How can I be sure my Florida criminal history record has been sealed or expunged?

After a court order to seal or expunge your criminal history record is issued, it will be sent to the appropriate arresting agencies, the state attorney, the state wide prosecutor and the FDLE. We will forward you the copies of any order to seal or expunge your Florida criminal history record once it is signed by a judge. It will be up to you to make sure they follow the order and seal or destroy the appropriate records. We highly recommend you run another background check on yourself through the FDLE a month or so after the order is issued. Visit the link below for details. In the rare event that your charge is still shown on your record, you will need to arrange for another certified copy of the order to seal or expunge to be sent to the appropriate agency.
