If you have a Minnesota criminal record, you can sometimes get the document sealed or expunged. In most cases, this is only a solution if you’ve stayed out of trouble. When a document is sealed, the report is still available – it’s only not conveniently accessible. But when a record is expunged, the info is erased just as if the criminal event never transpired.
Sealing a record may not always signify no person can ever find out about your criminal past. In some cases, it’s possible to unseal a record if a court order is issued. But when a record is sealed or expunged, individuals, including landlords or hiring managers, generally can not discover your past.
