HazMat Endorsement, Criminal Record

you can give it a rest I don't think anyone is stupid enough to think you can just pay 1000 dollars and then you don't have a criminal record.

 

I hope this is a legitimate company. Lots of scams out there. If you only have one infraction and enough time has passed, you can get it expunged.

But, there are databases that take time to update new Information. Can take a year.

 

yes but if you qualify to have it expunged you don't have to pay a company to do it for you

 

in GA they will not expunge anything,unless the Governor grants it to you. my neighbor is a professional criminal (aka lawyer)

 

Well, to put this entire thread to bed, I have a class 5 Federal Felony for Bank Larceny from 1992, that's right, a Federal level felony, which means to get mine expunged, I have to get permission from the occupant of the oval office, and it costs a heck of a lot more than $1,000.

I have HAZMAT and TWIC , my record has never been expunged or sealed. So, unless you have one of the disqualifiers listed elsewhere, spending the money to get your record expunged, which BTW, most likely you will not succeed, as typically you have to been free and clear for 20 yrs from end of sentence, is a waste of time, you would be better off getting the waiver.

About the only thing your felony will keep you from is entering Canada.

 

The way I understood expungement is its only if you are granted deferred adjudication when you are sentenced. Then you have to get it done within a certain timeframe or you are sol. And even then, it will show up as an arrest but not a conviction.
But all that was a long time and many brain cells ago lol -

 

Misdemeanors can be expunged. Felonies can't. ( Supposedly )

It's also not a difficult NOR confusing process. And can be done on your own. For $85. No need to give a Law Firm $1000.

Here's the procedure in Utah.

Drive your car to Background Criminal Investigations. ( BCI ). Park your car. Walk in to building.

Take a number and Fill out application. Wait for number to be called. Submit fingerprints on application. Pay $10. Turn in to clerk. Have a seat and wait for your name to be called.
Walk back to counter and get your record. GO HOME. And wait 30 days for letter in mail.

Take letter back to BCI. Grab a number. Wait for number to be called. Hand letter to clerk. Receive another form. It goes to the courthouse that did your case. And comes with instructions.

( The letter will tell you if your eligible or not. It will also tell you what can and can't be expunged. And what the timeframe is for each type of eligible expungement. ) DUI's are 10 years. There was something for 7 years, 3 years, and 2 years. I don't remember what they were.

Take Form to court that handled your case. Pay a fee for each document needed. 6 total for a cost of $65.
Court gets one copy. Prosecuting attorney office that did your case gets one copy. Jail that booked you gets one copy. Police department that arrested you gets one copy. Go back to BCI as they get one copy. You get the last copy.

Wait 30 days. Go back to BCI. Take a number. Fill out application with fingerprints. Wait for number to be called. Pay $10. Turn in to clerk. Have a seat and wait for your name to be called. Receive record. Charge should be gone.

The only other expense to add to the total cost. Is time off from work. Can't be done on the weekends.
