Who should receive a copy of the order to seal or expunge a criminal history record?
By law, the Clerk of Court is responsible for certifying a copy of the court order to the State Attorney’s Office (or to the Statewide Prosecutor’s Office) as well as to the arresting agency (or agencies).
The arresting agency is then responsible for sending a certified copy of the court order to all agencies that are known to have received the criminal history information.
In addition to FDLE, those agencies may include the Florida Department of Corrections, Teen Courts, and the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice.
