Risks of Criminal Record Removal

1. Not All Records Are Eligible for Removal
One of the dangers is that not all criminal records can be removed. Violent or aggravated crimes, particularly felonies, could have more stringent qualification requirements. If your conviction cannot be expunged or sealed, your case could be unsuccessful.

2. Legal and Court Fees
While expunging a criminal record is of significant advantage, it may be expensive in terms of attorney fees or filing fees. Although we strive to make our services affordable, we must recognize that the process itself may be expensive, particularly if there is a long legal process involved.

3. Lengthy Process
In some cases, removing a criminal record can take months or years, contingent upon the nature of your case and the volume of backlog at the court. This is infuriating and delays the process, but at New Identity Lab, we endeavor to speed up the process as much as we can.

4. Scrutiny or Further Questions
Although the record may be sealed or expunged, there are some instances where there are follow-up inquiries regarding prior legal matters. For instance, some organizations, such as government agencies or police, will remain able to see sealed records in some situations.

5. Risk of Incomplete Removal
There are certain situations where there is a chance that not everything on your criminal record will be wiped out. This may be because of bureaucratic mistakes, system bugs of the justice system, or avoidance of information that hadn’t been settled properly. We try hard at New Identity Lab, but we must remain vigilant about chances of lack of complete removal or delay.
