Limits

When applying for a state professional license or job that is considered a public office or high security (such as security guard, law enforcement, or related to national security), one may be required to disclose that they have an expunged conviction. For example, failure to disclose an expunged criminal charge may result in denial of a license or denial of a security clearance by the Department of Justice. Some criminal convictions may result in automatic denials of licensure, whether expunged or not.
