where do you live?
I'm accessing "Answers" through Yahoo Canada, so some of these I'm not sure of if the asker is American.
In Canada, you can apply for a Pardon through Pardon's Canada. If the application is successful, you're good to go.
There are certain criteria though: Time period since last committing an offense, if there was a restitution order it must be paid in full, etc.

Don't waste your time, besides being expensive, an expungement doesn't accomplish much, your criminal record will still be intact and available for all to see. An expungement is nothing more than a pardon for certain offenses (not all). It doesn't hide a criminal conviction, it only shows that it was expunged after conviction and that'll have to be explained to whomever sees it. Different states have varying laws regarding expungements, your better off discussing this with a criminal attorney in the state where this occurred and the laws are changing all the time regarding this issue. Web sites usually aren't up to date with regard to the laws.

A criminal conviction remains on your record for life. Even 'sealing' of juvenile records does not really work.
