Yes, but you need to go to the court system that the felony is recorded under and plead your case as to why it should be expunged. It is very difficult to do and most people that try, fail.

The person who responded before me is correct. Unless you were a juvenile when you committed the crime, then the arrest will remain on your record. In Georgia, you CAN get a pardon if you have remained crime free for 5 years. That means NO new convictions, felony or misdemeanor. All a pardon is going to do is give you rights you may not have had prior to the pardon, which really are not that many, unless you are applying for a gun permit or if you reside in a state that won't allow you to vote. Felonies remain on your record, but MAY be expunged if you were wrongly convicted or if someone else used your name.

A felony conviction will stay with you; however, check with the state you reside in and see if you can apply for a Pardon. In some States you can apply for a Pardon after five years of when your sentence discharges. While you might receive a pardon, you should know that your original arrest will always be there - it will NEVER go away.

Wart state do you live in? Some states won't remove (expunge) anything from an adult record. If you were an adolescent when it occur ed, It should be sealed any way.

Someone already told you about expunged, and that is the only way to do it.
Felony's stay on your record forever unless you can prove they were wrong.
It isn't something you can wipe out after enough time has elapsed.
Sorry about that.

Sometimes if its a local or state charge. If its federal, no way. Lawyers can get things taken off your record, but I don't think its very easy.

Sometimes it's possible to have it expunged. You need a lawyer and it's very expensive.

Hopefully not. Victims have to live with the results of crimes committed the rest of their lives. Criminals should have to also.
