Can I expunge my parole or probation record?

In Georgia, you can potentially expunge or seal your parole and probation records. Generally, only those who have successfully completed their probation period and paid all applicable fines or restitution can have their records expunged. In order to expunge or seal your records, you must fill out the appropriate forms with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). You also have to provide any and all documentation or evidence that you believe may help your case. Once submitted, the GBI will make a decision about whether your records can be expunged or sealed. However, it is important to remember that even if your records are expunged or sealed, they are not necessarily destroyed. The GBI reserves the right to disclose your records in certain instances, such as if there is an investigation or if you are being considered for certain positions or privileges. If you are considering expungement or sealing of your parole or probation records in Georgia, it is recommended that you consult with an attorney. They will be able to provide accurate advice and help you navigate the legal process.
