Do you have an arrest record in Broward County?

An arrest record can keep you from getting a job or renting a home and create other challenges.

The Broward State Attorney’s Office is hosting a one-stop arrest record sealing and expungement workshop from 3 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 27, at the Riverside Church, 957 Rock Island Rd, North Lauderdale, FL 33068.

Broward State Attorney Harold F. Pryor and a team of volunteers from our office are hosting the event in partnership with the Broward County Clerk of Courts, the Broward Sheriff’s Office, and the City of North Lauderdale. Thank you for sponsorship assistance from Greenspoon Marder LLP, the T.J. Reddick Bar Association, and the Westside Gazette.

If you were charged with a crime in Broward County and the case did not result in a conviction, you may be eligible to have a single arrest record expunged. If you were charged with a crime in Broward County and received an adjudication withheld, that case may be eligible to be sealed.

Only cases that occurred in Broward County are eligible for review. Our staff and volunteers will help qualified applicants to complete the process.

Adult and juvenile walk-ins are welcome. Please bring a valid ID. More information here and at https://www.fdle.state.fl.us/seal-and-expunge-process/seal-and-expunge-home.aspx
