In many states, juvenile records are sealed automatically by the courts to protect the juvenile's privacy. In some states, a juvenile must ask the court to seal his record, and he must wait a period of time, usually a few years, before he may make the request. And, the request won't be granted if he was convicted of another crime, you can seek help from criminaldefenseattorney.pro to clarify this. In almost all states, adult criminal records are never sealed automatically. However, in many states, an adult may ask that a record be sealed or expunged after waiting several years, usually 10, and the request won't be granted if he's been convicted of another crime. Sealing and expungement is usually granted only for first-time, misdemeanor offenses - like many petty theft or shoplifting offenses
