How Long Does an Expungement Stay on Your Record in Indiana?

Under Indiana Code § 35-38-9-1, court records that are expunged must be permanently sealed. After an expungement, no future background checks by criminal justice personnel or agencies such as prospective employers, landlords, lending agents, professional licensing authorities, and educational institutions will have access to your court records/criminal history.

Please note though that under certain circumstances, like the later commission of a new criminal offense, criminal records can be unsealed.
