What is "Sealing of Records"?
"In most cases, when people talk about “expungement” they are actually referring to “sealing a criminal record” (Ohio Revised Code § 2953.31 – 2953.62). Convictions and non-convictions can be sealed or “hidden” from most background checks. Sealed electronic and paper records are filed in a separate, secured location. The records still exist but cannot be seen by most people."
There are caveats and exceptions so read the accompanying materials carefully.
