Once again, as is usually the case, it depends on your state. Usually juvie records are sealed once the person turns 18. I think that sex offenses and violent crimes are the exception.

Juvenile records are not erased. They are sealed, and can be opened again under special circumstances once you become an adult.
Your best bet is to contact the court system where you are and ask how they handle that. The laws vary by state.
You might also want to make sure you don't commit another felony. That's one of the times when they can try and have a juvenile record unsealed. If you live in a "three strikes" state, that juvenile felony can end up counting as one of your felonies. It's probably best to keep your nose clean from here on out.

Maybe and maybe not. IN some states felonies never go away. The other problem is if you want a job in which you have to waive your rights for a record check, or if you have to take a polygraph or voice stress analyzer to get a trusted position. Since the era of so much corporate misconduct sooner or later someone is going to find out. Maybe it will and maybe it won't and maybe you have to own up to your own conduct and not think in terms of what you can get away with.

You should check with your state, or the state that the crime was commited in.
In Alabama, its not automatically erased. You have to petition the court to have that done. Now, I'm not sure about it being true regarding a felony. Its worth checking up on.
In the mean time, don't lie on an application.

It depends; for some felonies if you are "charged as an adult", it would probably stay on your record, because for the purposes of the law, you were an adult when you committed it. This wouldn't include such benign crimes as you describe, though, usually that is reserved for heinous crimes such as rape and murder, where the prosecutor wants to make sure you go away for a long time.

Probably not. But if you have a probation officer that will give you a good reference it might help. Or you may be able to ask a judge depending on what the felony was for.

unless the prosecution agreed to have your record surpressed as part of a plea agreement, then the answer is that a background check would find it.
depending on the job or company, they might not do a check (low level jobs or smaller business tend to not do this check). of course your dishonesty is grounds for dismissal at anytime.

I know that counts for misdemeanors, but I think a felony is still on your record until you're 21. I can't swear to that though!

initially - at 18 you are able to petition to have your checklist sealed or expunged. whether - a super sort of the time you are able to not get a felong conviction sealed or expunged. and whether you have been able to get your checklist sealed or expunged - any Federal records seek will see contained in the direction of the expungment. this suggests that the militia will locate out besides. you are able to by no skill get away your previous.

Look into sealing your records. I believe you can do this for juvenile records, but I don't think it will happen by itself automatically. As for a backgound check, it will probaby come up if you don't seal your records.
