Driving Record Expungement
You may be able to have the records of a Vermont conviction or charge expunged, sealed, or pardoned under certain circumstances.
Record Expungement Guide:
If you have an infraction on your permanent record and would like to work as a driver for Vermont Medicaid, please follow the links below to see if the infraction can be expunged from your record.
What’s the difference between sealing and expungement?
An expungement order will completely destroy all records of any arrest, charge or conviction information held by any criminal records database. Neither the public, nor law enforcement, can access your record of criminal activity that have been expunged. When an expungement order is granted to you, you can lawfully say that you have never been arrested, charged or convicted of the crime expunged.
A sealing order has the same effect for you as an expungement order in most contexts. You can lawfully say that you have never been arrested, charged, or convicted of that offense. But, when a record is sealed, it is maintained and still can be used by the courts and law enforcement in later cases. The record also remains available for federal background checks.
