After judgment

Preparing to discuss cancellation of criminal records

A judgment alone does not establish whether a criminal record can be cancelled.

How to prepare

1. Set out the facts

Gather judgments and documents showing the penalties imposed and when they were completed or extinguished. Identify any missing decision.

2. Organise your documents

Keep payment records, evidence of compliance and court communications. Explain whether other proceedings or convictions need to be considered.

3. Prepare your questions

Ask about the requirements and time calculation for your situation. Criminal records differ from police records; the judgment date is not the only relevant date.
