Vacating vs. expunging: what’s the difference?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but each works differently. We review your record and tell you which options fit your situation.

Vacating a conviction

A court sets aside your conviction, and the case is treated as if the judgment was removed. Often available after you’ve completed your sentence and met eligibility requirements.

Expungement & sealing

Your arrest or conviction record is removed or sealed from public view, so most employers, landlords and background checks no longer see it.
