What does it mean to expunge criminal records?

Expungement typically refers to the process of destroying any record of certain convictions or arrests. Once this process is complete, no one should be able to find them by inspecting public records, and you could no longer be required to disclose those arrests or convictions to potential employers, prospective lessors, or in virtually any other application process. Expunged criminal records may still be used for criminal history purposes in certain jurisdictions.

What does it mean to seal criminal records?

Sealing criminal records, on the other hand, should only hide a criminal record from anyone other than law enforcement and members of the criminal justice system. Sealed criminal records may still be used for criminal history purposes in certain jurisdictions.
