Expungement Matters
Virginia Expungement & Record Sealing
A Clean Record Can Open the Door to a Fresh Start.
A criminal record can continue to affect your employment opportunities, reputation, and future. Virginia law provides opportunities for eligible individuals to seek expungement or record sealing and move forward.
Virginia's new expungement and record-sealing law took effect July 1, 2026, expanding opportunities for certain individuals to clear or limit public access to their criminal records.
