Even after the court grants the sealing of your case records, some agencies will still have access to the sealed records. Law enforcement agencies will be able to view the records and even use the sealed records as evidence in future convictions. Sealed records can also appear on a background check, depending on the specifics of the conviction and the reason for a background check. In most cases, sealed records will not appear on background checks for employment and residency. All records pertaining to arrest, conviction, and sentencing are taken off your public record. Exceptions apply if the employment is a law enforcement agency, probation department, or correctional facility.
