Can I appeal the denial of my application for a Certificate of Eligibility to seal or expunge my criminal history record?

If you believe that the denial of your application for Certification of Eligibility is in error, you may ask that the denial be reviewed.

If the denial is based on information in your criminal history record that is believed to be in error or incomplete, the procedure for reviewing and correcting that record is given in Florida Administrative Code Rule 11C-8.001.

If you agree that the criminal history information is correct, but believe that the law has been incorrectly applied or interpreted in your case, you may appeal the decision of the FDLE. The appeal of a denial is to be handled within the court of competent jurisdiction.
