I had a juvie record expunged what does that mean exactly?

It says its been destroyed, but it is also still on the court record database. It is the 1 and only time i have ever been in trouble I was 14 I'm 37 now and want to start getting my artwork out. I'm just afraid of somebody finding out. I have never been in trouble since, not even a speeding ticket, I swear.

    If the records are expunged they technically do not exist .......technically. 

    But everything recorded electronically ...is someplace.

    If you are asked if you have a criminal history, you can legally say ....no....because it does not exist.

    My guess is that if you were seeking a government high level security clearance ...there is a good chance it would be checked.

    Any crimes you committed as a juvenile are sealed once you reach adulthood. The record still exists, but noone can see it, and a background check will not show any results.
