Florida record-clearing statutes

Four statutes govern record-clearing in Florida. Two create the court-ordered remedies — expungement and sealing. One lists the records that are ineligible. One seals certain records automatically, with no application at all. Each page below explains its statute in plain language and links the official 2025 text.

• Court-ordered expunction of criminal history records — Fla. Stat. § 943.0585
• Court-ordered sealing of criminal history records — Fla. Stat. § 943.059
• Automatic sealing of criminal history records; confidentiality of related court records — Fla. Stat. § 943.0595
• Criminal history records ineligible for court-ordered expunction or court-ordered sealing — Fla. Stat. § 943.0584
