Clear your Florida record.

You deserve a clean record. Florida law lets you clear yours under Fla. Stat. § 943.0585 and Fla. Stat. § 943.059 — let's see if you qualify.

Check eligibility

In their words

I was terrified of getting mixed up with the legal system again, but I knew I had to clear my record to get a promotion at work. Thanks to Expeal for making it so easy and anonymous because I was able to take my time and gain the confidence I needed to face the court one last time.

Florida gives you two court-ordered ways to clear a record. Expungement under Fla. Stat. § 943.0585 destroys most copies of it. Sealing under Fla. Stat. § 943.059 makes it confidential instead. Both start with a certificate of eligibility from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). Both end with a judge's order in the county where your case was handled.

The check takes a few minutes. It runs in your browser. We do not receive or store your answers.

Common questions

Eligibility

Do I qualify to clear my record in Florida?

Florida's court-ordered options usually cover a record that was never adjudicated guilty. Your history matters too. You need no open case, no disqualifying conviction, and no unpaid court-ordered amounts. The check walks you through the same questions the application asks. It takes a few minutes.

Pricing

What does it cost?

You pay one flat Expeal fee for the document preparation. You also pay the government fees Florida charges every applicant. The pricing page shows every figure with its source — including your own county's filing fee.

Timeline

How long does the FDLE certificate take?

FDLE says processing usually takes 12 weeks. The clock starts when your completed application packet arrives. The court's own calendar adds time after you file the petition.

Process

What does Expeal actually do?

We prepare the documents. In the application's own words: we'll create all the necessary documents and send them to you, and you'll handle the filing yourself. We do not give legal advice. We do not represent you in court.
