Can a sealed court record be found on someone?

I am trying to find an old record on someone that is no longer there. I think it has been expunged or something. Is there any way to find old records that have been expunged?

If it's been sealed probably not.

I think even police officers need special permissions to unseal a document.

Contact your local police station though and they'd be able to tell you your policies.

Good luck!

Hopefully not. That is the point of sealing or expunging the record.

If you have a valid legal reason for seeing the record, you can petition the court to open the files. But if the record was expunged and not just sealed, there may be no physical record to open.
