- Many driving convictions and guilty pleas can now be removed from the State’s records, if they happened more than five years ago and did not involve alcohol. Also, old arrest records can be expunged. Which ones will depend on the presence of, or the non-existence of, several specific factors relative to your personal situation.
- Removal of these items from the State of Minnesota’s records can be beneficial in many different ways, including lower car insurance premiums. Also, future job applications can be more acceptable to a potential new employer, landlords, mortgage lenders, insurance companies and others may now do a criminal background check. This will no longer be available to these individuals or companies.
