Virginia Record-Sealing Information Checker
Answer a few questions based on Virginia’s published record-sealing criteria. Your answers can help identify whether your situation may warrant additional review and what information you may need next. This checker provides general information only. It does not determine legal eligibility and is not legal advice.
Common Questions About Eligibility
What types of records can be sealed in Virginia?
Eligibility depends on the specific offense, the final outcome of the case (such as dismissal or conviction), and the amount of time that has passed since the case was closed.
How long do I have to wait to apply?
Waiting periods vary significantly. Non-convictions may be eligible sooner, while other records may require a waiting period of several years without new offenses.
Is this a legal service?
Clear Path Virginia is a navigation service, not a law firm. We provide informational guidance to help you navigate the process independently or with professional help.
What if I am not eligible yet?
Our checker may indicate when additional review could be helpful and provide information about possible next steps.
What Happens After Your Information Check
Once you complete the checker, you’ll receive information based on your answers to help you understand possible next steps.
From there, you can request a personalized record review to help you organize your case information, identify records and documents you may need, and better understand what to ask an attorney or legal aid organization.
We do not provide legal advice, legal representation, or legal eligibility determinations. Our goal is to help you feel more prepared and informed before you take your next step.
